Decide which songs to include. If you attend concerts together, choose songs you have heard at the shows. Consider music that reminds you of specific dates or the day you met, or look for songs that describe your relationship. Show him that you pay attention to his interests by including his favorite song, not yours.
Pick no more than 15 songs. Make sure the songs fit on one CD. Bring some variety into it by including different genres like rock, R&B, alternative or country.
Play the songs together and figure out which order fits best. Don't bunch together many songs with a similar sound. Make the progression match whatever theme you chose. Finish it with the song that you find the most important.
Open Windows Media Player on your computer, insert your blank burnable CD into the CD/DVD burner drive, and click on the "Burn" tab. Drag the music into the burn list. Arrange the songs in the order you chose and press the "Start Burn" button. Listen to the CD to make sure it copied appropriately.
Put the CD into a case of his favorite color; write a track list for him. Include a booklet describing why you chose these songs or let them speak for themselves. Pick a fun title and write it across the CD with a permanent marker.
