CD Burning

[Guest]

I am brand new to music downloading and cd burning having just gotten
broadband. I have an HP RW Burner 8200 Series. I have been able to burn a
single song to disk. When trying to brunb more songs onto same disk I get a
message that says "Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW into Drive etc.." The CD Rom
works just fine for my daughter to play games but I have not been able to
copy an entire disk full of music. Any suggestions?

How big, in MBs are these songs? Compare the size of the individual
song to the size of the disk. Most disks will only hold about 600 MBs of
music, it all depends on the format of the songs, like WMA, MP3, CDA, etc.
The average MP3 music file is about 3MBs, or 3,000KB
Don't use CD-RW for music, use CD-Rs. Check the Help section of the
app (like Nero, Roxio, or WMP) you are using to create music disks, you
can also create data disks.

That is because you "finished" the cd after writing a single song. You must
choose not to "finalize" the burning after writing one song. In other words,
leave the cd open for more songs...

look up "finalize cd" in help. I do not know what program you use, so I
cannot help you find the option not to finalize it. You really should wait
until you have enough songs to fill the cd before you write it anyway. Then
you can write and finalize it all in one session.

Good luck
