To burn a CD is to make a copy of it. You have to have a CD burner and a blank CD. Then, using a software you can make a copy of any CD you want. This is awesome if you want to give your friends one. The thing is it is not lawful to distribute Cd's for free.

CDs store music and other files in digital form -- that is, the information on the disc is represented by a series of 1s and 0s (see How Analog and Digital Recording Works for more information). In conventional CDs, these 1s and 0s are represented by millions of tiny bumps and flat areas on the disc's reflective surface. The bumps and flats are arranged in a continuous track that measures about 0.5 microns (millionths of a meter) across and 3.5 miles (5 km) long.
To read this information, the CD player passes a laser beam over the track. When the laser passes over a flat area in the track, the beam is reflected directly to an optical sensor on the laser assembly. The CD player interprets this as a 1. When the beam passes over a bump, the light is bounced away from the optical sensor. The CD player recognizes this as a 0
Conventional CDs store digital data as a pattern of bumps and flat areas, arranged in a long spiral track. The CD fabrication machine uses a high-powered laser to etch the bump pattern into photoresist material coated onto a glass plate. Through an elaborate imprinting process, this pattern is pressed onto acrylic discs. The discs are then coated with aluminum (or another metal) to create the readable reflective surface. Finally, the disc is coated with a transparent plastic layer that protects the reflective metal from nicks, scratches and debris.
CD-recordable discs, or CD-Rs, don't have any bumps or flat areas at all. Instead, they have a smooth reflective metal layer, which rests on top of a layer of photosensitive dye.
When the disc is blank, the dye is translucent: Light can shine through and reflect off the metal surface. But when you heat the dye layer with concentrated light of a particular frequency and intensity, the dye turns opaque: It darkens to the point that light can't pass through.
A CD burner's job, of course, is to "burn" the digital pattern onto a blank CD.

Well, CD stands for compact disc. Believe it or not, information is stored on CD's and DVD's in the form of pits. The pits are invisible to the naked eye so don’t brother trying to look for them. I know it sounds odd but it is really true. An analogy would be playing a record on a phonograph. The grooves on a record produce the sound.
A blank recordable CD disc consists of two layers. The first layer is plastic which gives the disc its shape and rigidity. The second is a layer of organic dye.
When recording files on to a blank CD, a low powered laser “burns” pits on to the organic layer. Now, you know why people refer to process of copying files on to a disc as “burning.”

Burning a CD is equivalent to saying Writing data into CD. You get CD writer, and you use special software which can copy contents from hard disk of your PC to CD.

You take some songs and you put them on a BLANK disc. So then you have the songs to go on one compact CD!
