How to Compile MP3 CDs

MP3 is a popular audio format used to store and manage music. Due to the popularity of car MP3 players and other MP3-compliant devices, music fans often rely on the MP3 audio format to enjoy their favorite songs. Furthermore, making a basic MP3 compilation is efficiently done with the use of a disc burner and a blank CD. You can compile your own music CD through Windows' built-in disc management utility.
