Then came those music shareware sites like Napster that made it really easy and cheap to download your favorite songs. You just store the songs on the computer's hard drive and add it to your MP3 player if you wanted.
Now if you want to transfer all those songs to a CD so you could listen to them in your car, you only need one thing - a CD burner. Every computer comes with one now.
A CD burner comes in two formats, an external drive and an internal drive. Most people are probably familiar with the internal drives that connect to you CPU and is housed in your computer tower. The external drive on the other hand is not connected to the CPU and plugs in to your computer via a USB port.
CD burners not only copy songs from your hard drive but you can also copy one CD to another.
Now you'll need software to run your CD burner which in most cases comes with your computer in the form of Windows Media Player. If you want something that works better and offers you more options, your best bet is to purchase Nero or Roxio.
If you prefer to stick with the free options, you can download free burner software from the Internet. Some good free options to look for are Deep Burner and ISO Recorder.
Some people may think that a CD burner only copies songs or other audio files but this of course isn't true. You can also burn other files, programs, video, games, etc. Your options are unlimited. It's a wonder how we ever managed with out our CD burners.
