Hi again Carliss: My name is Mike. I'm the one who sent you the step-by-step instructions for burning an audio cd in Windows Media Player. In addition, here are the directions again. 1. Insert a blank cdr disk into the cd/dvd drive of your computer. If you get a message that asks you what you want the computer to do, just press alt f 4 to close this windo w. 2. Now start up windows explorer by pressing windows key and the letter E. Once open, arrow up and down through the list of drives and folders until you find the folder where your mp3 files are located and press tab to open it. 3. select everything in that folder by pressing control A then press control c to copy them to the clipboard. 4. Press shift-tab to close this window and arrow down to the burner drive, and press tab to open that drive. 5. Now, press control V to paste everything in. 6. Press the applications key to bring up the context menu and press T. This will bring up the burn wizard. You'll be asked to name the cd. The default name will be the current date unless you decide to give the cd a different name. 7. Then tab to the next button and press it. 8. A new window will come up asking you if you want to make an audio cd, or a data cd. Windows Media Player is normally set to audio cd by default. If it isn't, then use your arrow keys to navigate to the audio cd option. Then press tab until you get to next and press enter or press spacebar. 9. At this point, Windows media player itself will open. 10. The easiest way to get to the start burn button, is to shift tab 9 times. Once you find the burn button, press spacebar and wait. Do not do anything until you hear the cd drive's moter stop and the cd ejects. Once the cd is done burning, you can press alt f 4 to close Windows Media Player. You should then see an icon on your screen called audio cd E or something similar. Once you find this icon, press the applications key again and press F. You will then see a message that asks you to confirm that you want to remove the files from the temporary area where they had been placed prior to burning the cd. Either tab to the yes button or press alt Y. This will clear the burn list. Now your cd is ready for your friend to play in his cd player, just like a store-bought cd. Hope this helps. Hope you have a nice Christmas and Happy New Year. If you like, I could also send you an audio tutorial of someone actually burning a cd with Windows Media Player, so that you can get a feel for how its done. Mike Rochester, NY.

Listers, please forgive me for asking again, but my brother had to take my computer to factory spects and I lost the instructions for burning cds with media player. I don't remember who sent the intructions, but if it can be done again I would greatly appreciate it and this time I'll put the instructions on a thumb drive to keep it safe. Thanks to all.
