Creating (Burning) CDs If your PC has a CD-RW or DVD Writer (select models only), your PC has recording software and you can make your own music or data CDs. Your PC has four recording software programs, iTunes, Windows Media Player, RecordNow!, and Windows XP. You copy or download music to their library and can then organize or copy the music files. You can copy Windows Media files that have a .wma extension, .mp3 files, or .wav files to a CD by using a CD-RW drive or a DVD Writer drive. You can also use iTunes or Windows Media Player to copy music files to a portable device or memory card. Use a CD-R disc if you are going to play the disc in a CD player, CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, or DVD+RW/+R, or double-layer DVD+R drive. CD-R discs are compatible with more players than CD-RW discs.
