How to Put Saved MP3 Files Onto Blank CDs

Putting saved MP3 files onto blank CDs is perfect for creating mixes of your favorite music for driving or to share with friends. You can do this using software that comes pre-installed on your computer. If you own a PC, you can use Windows Media Player, while Mac owners can use iTunes. Because of this, you will not need to buy or download any software in order to put your MP3s onto CDs.
