Despite the fact that optical discs are already quite rare in our life, since they were replaced by flash drives and “cloud” technologies, sometimes the question still arises of how to burn an MP3 disc. Quite often, motorists encounter this, whose head unit is not equipped with a USB input.
It is not difficult to do this, however, you should always remember some features of the recording, ignoring which you may well spoil the disk. In addition, beginners often write so that their creation is not readable in any drive, not excluding the drive of the computer on which the recording was made.
So, first, let's look at how to burn an MP3 disc using the Windows OS itself, as the whole subsequent story will be about it. Immediately, we note that all of the following will be relevant for Win 7 and 8, since XP has its own tools for writing to disk, but they are too clumsy, and you can ruin a bunch of discs with their "invaluable" help.
Suppose you have a stock of MP3 discs that are on your hard drive or on a USB flash drive. How to transfer them to a blank? To do this, you need to open the drive, put a blank disk there (we assume that a standard CD will be used), close the drive. We go into the “My Computer” folder and wait until the new drive is detected by the system.
We double-click on it with the mouse, after which a dialog box immediately appears in which you will need to select the method of its use. Since we need to burn an MP3 disc, we select an option that offers the use of a recorded disc with a CD or DVD player. In the same window, select the name for your new project, and then click the "Next" button. A window will appear with an empty field onto which we need to drag the files we need with the mouse or simply paste them with the Ctrl + V key combination. However, you can use the context menu for this .
Are the files already in place? Then we right-click on the free space in the recording window (where the files prepared for recording are waiting in the wings), after which we select the option “Burn disc” in the pop-up context menu. The next dialog box opens, in which you can again select the name of your project, as well as the recording speed. Note especially! Do not select the maximum speed value, as in many cases this leads to the fact that the recorded disc will be read only in a computer drive. Click on the “Next” button, after which we wait a while ...
In a word, burning songs to disk using the built-in Windows tools is easy. We insert a fresh little disc into our radio and enjoy the music!
And how to burn an MP3 disc using WMP (the standard multimedia player that comes with the operating system)? Well, that is also easy. Launch the application (provided that the blank disc is already in the drive) and open the “Record” tab in the upper right corner. We also drag and drop the audio files to the “Record field” item, which is located a little lower. Click on the button “Start recording”, after which we wait a bit.
We hope you understand how to burn an MP3 disc!
