How to Transfer Songs I Have Recorded on a Karaoke Site to a CD

Karaoke sites allow users to create their own karaoke mixes online. The trouble is many karaoke sites don't offer a way for the users to save the recordings to their computer. There are many free software products available that can capture the songs from karaoke sites and save them as audio files. The audio files can then be burned to a blank CD-R disc.
