hello i need help- as we all do!

i have looked for access to a computer that has the capability to stick in a cd so i can burn or download music to a cd. does anyone know where i can do this? my school and the pc bungs are not equipped!

I have currently rented a lovely room for the nite to try and work this out - minimise frustrations -and try download to my mp3 (at minimum) oh aswell as a have spa- i highly recommend. so i here the music coming from the computer- i need vivaldis four seasons and most importantly rem shiny happy people on cd for school. they have to learn it before january concert!

anyone have any ideas or is there a lovely someone who can put it on cd at home and send it to me in the post. i can send you postal address via pm

remember what goes around comes around

thanks in advance
sincerly ellie

if your school doesn't have a burner, hit up the boss... they are like 40 bucks or something these days

As Wylde pointed out you need to have the correct hardware: a CD drive cabable of making at least a CD-R. Chances are most desktops you come across will have them (or in an office environment such as your school there may be only one or two, you'll have to ask).

You will also need software. If you don't know what the software looks like then you'll probably just use windows:

Look for a sign on the CD drive that says "compact disc recordable rewriteable," or some such hooey. It's a little insignia about 1.5 cm square and it's plastered on a corner of the CD drive door.

You also have to check that the computer has a program that will help you make the CD. It's called Nero.

Hey, if it's already installed on the computer, it might be paid for. Why use a crappy utility?

[Bulsajo]

I think you don't even need Windows Media Player- XP the o/s has built-in burning capability (but of course it's crappy compared to NERO or Roxio). You can find it in Windows exployer or my computer screens.

I agree with both previous posts- use NERO if possible, but if it comes down to it then don't pay for it but use XP or Windows Media Player.
