garbage, and I will be angry and cynical FOREVER. Here is my question: I downloaded some songs from Limewire (most are MPEG3). I want to know how exactly do I burn these songs to cd? There are no such options on Livewire--you can only listen to your downloads, and there is no cd burning software that would allow you to create custom cd's. Windows Media player allows this IF ONLY I can export the downloaded songs from Limewire to Windows media player. Once I can do this I'll be able to create a playlist and check the songs I want to burn to cd. I have found this to be utterly IMPOSSIBLE--a pipe dream. Any rare geniuses out there who can solve this problem? I am quite fed up with how complicated this all is!!!!!!! And I'm realizing that these download sites are COMPLETELY OVERRATED.

all you have to do is save the songs to your My music file but you need some kind of burning software like Nero or Winamp or something like that. Limewire will let you download it to your computer, windows media player will save it, but you need another type of software to burn it. What came with you cd burner?

Nero will do it. If you leave them in MP3 format you can usually get 130 to 140 songs on 1 CD. If you do the reguar wav. format you get 14 to 18 songs per CD. Hope it helps.
PS anything free (limewire) can't be guaranteed. There is a setting to only allow 3 and 4 star songs. That way you get rid of alot of the junk

Can you not drag the songs from your download folder to your "My Music" folder? Have you tried right clicking on the songs, send to your CD drive to start a burn? Right click on the song and open with media player? Honestly I don't know why you are having problems here unless the files are protected. Right click on the song, click properties, summary, advanced and see if its listed as protected under origin, if not those files will burn.

Once you have downloaded the song on to limewire go to the place where ther are all stored and 'enque' them once there press save as, once you have saved them to your hard drive, just find the folder they are in then open them via Windows media player, then they shoudl be able to be burnt

most sites won't allow you to burn a cd unless your using there software. you my need to upgrade you media player or check the FAQ for lime wire they may have a deal telling you how to burn your cd. the only other deal you can do is to download the songs from your player to MyPC and from there use your computers software to burn your cd. you may also want to make sure you have all your drivers installed to burn a cd or you won't be able to burn your cd.

Maybe you should buy the records?
In lieu of that, when I burn downloaded songs, I export to Windows Media Player as well. It seems like a pain but if you add them to your library, it hastens the process.

Most CD burners come packaged with software for recording CD's . Mine came with NERO, as do many others. Have you tried using the software that came with your CD burner?
Another option is to download iTunes (it's free). .mp3 files can be easily transferred to it and it is also easy to burn CD's from iTunes.

have you tried iTunes? it's free from the apple website. i download a lot of mp3's from limewire too. i add them to my iTunes library then burn the songs into an audio CD if i feel like like it or if someone asks me to.
