How to Add an Audio Track to a DVD

Recordable DVDs are a great medium for storing digital audio because of their data capacity and portability. A standard recordable DVD can hold 4.7 gigabytes of audio, making it useful for backing up, transporting or archiving a large number of audio tracks. Adding an audio track to a DVD can be completed with software that comes pre-installed on your computer. In order to add an audio track to a DVD, you will have to burn the disc as a data DVD.
