Punk 101: Burning CDs
People seemed to like my post about how I started burning CDs again, and @olyve-oyle requested that I make a ‘how to’ for people who like to have physical copies of their music, so, here you go!
Disclaimer: There are tons of ways to get music illegally. I’m not going to explain those here for legal reasons, but there are plenty of resources out there that describe how to get music off of youtube, spotify, and tidal. However, Im always going to suggest that you buy your music, if able.
Supplies:
CD-Rs (not CD-ROMs, CD-ROMs are read only disks and you cant save new data to them once they have been created)
CD-RW Drive on your computer (you can also buy one that connects to your computer or laptop since a lot of computers dont have one anymore) RW stands for Read/Write, its what lets you burn a CD
An application like itunes (free accounts are perfectly fine) Windows Media Player also works, but I personally use itunes
Optional but Suggested: Cases
Optional: Craft supplies to decorate cases
Step 1: Obtain Music
There are a couple legal ways to do this. 1. Buy a CD (I typically get mine from thrift stores or my Dad’s old collection to make my own playlists) 2. Buy specific songs you want online. These can all be uploaded to you computer or itunes account
Step 2: Create Your Playlist
Any playlist will work, but it’s important to know how long your CD-Rs burn for. Most typically burn for 90 minutes, so keep your playlist under that. Heres the one I used for this *Note I just threw random stuff together*:
Step 3: Burn To CD-R
Admittedly I only know how to do this on itunes, so heres images showing how, and the settings that I use when burning
Step 4: Decorate
I like to use craft paper and sharpies. Just don’t draw on the bottom of the disk
Step 5: Listen To Your New CD
