- To open the Burn/Transfer page, select the Burn/Transfer tab.
- From the Current Burner/Device drop-down at the top of the page, select CD Burner. The CD Burner page will open. Follow the steps in the Tasks bar of the CD Burner page, or continue reading below.
- If you have not already done so, insert a blank disc into your recordable CD drive.
- Click Select CD Type to choose whether to make an Audio CD, an MP3 CD, or a Data CD. The "Select CD Type" dialog opens, and explains these types for you. (When deciding which type of media to use, keep in mind that CD-RW discs cannot always be played by all CD players. Check your player first if this is a concern.) For more about CD Types, see "Tell Me More About CD Types" below.
- Click Add Tracks from My Library. A navigable My Library pane opens. Browse for clips.
In addition to the standard My Library categories (such as Music and Playlists), a CD History option is also available. You can choose to duplicate a previously made CD by selecting it from CD History.
- Build your burn list. Select a clip or clips and click Add Selected to CD to queue clips for burning. The selected clips are displayed in the queue with a Ready to Burn status.
If desired, rearrange the selected tracks by dragging and dropping them within the burn list.
To delete a track, right-click it and select Delete, or select it and press [DELETE] on your keyboard.
The CD Status indicator (below the queue) shows the minutes required for download (Audio CD) or file space (MP3 or Data CD) still available on the disc, and the total minutes or file size you have queued so far. If excess clips are in the queue, they are labeled "Will Not Fit" and will not be burned to the disc.
- To view or change the default options and CD Text, click Edit Options. The "CD Options" dialog presents preferences based on the CD Type you selected (Audio, MP3, or Data). Click OK when you are satisfied with the preferences and CD Text. (Click Advanced Options for further Drive Options preferences.) For more information, see "Tell Me More About Edit Options" below.
