Hoo Boy Online

A long time ago if you wanted to have your favorite band’s CD, you had to buy it from your record store or buy it online. A lot of CD’s cost around $10. If you were someone who just couldn’t afford to buy all the CDs you wanted, you would just wait until they played it on the radio.

A few years later a great site like Napster game to be and you could download all the songs you wanted for nothing. You just saved it to your hard drive and transferred it to an MP3 player.

Now if you want to transfer all those songs to a CD so you could listen to them in your car, you only need one thing - a CD burner. Every computer comes with one now.

CD burners come in 2 forms, internal and external. Many people are probably more familiar with the internal burners that are housed in your computers tower. The external drive though, as the name implies, lives on the outside of your computer. You just connect it to your computer through a USB port. The both work the same though.

CD burners not only copy songs from your hard drive but you can also copy one CD to another.

Now to use your CD burner, you need software. Most you can find free to download on the Internet. Some examples include Windows Media Player (this may already exist on your computer), Deep Burner, or ISO Recorder.

If you just can’t afford to spend money on software for your burner, you still have a few good options when it comes to the free software. Two better free options to look for are Deep Burner or ISO Recorder.

Some people may think that a CD burner only copies songs or other audio files but this of course isn’t true. You can also burn other files, programs, video, games, etc. Your options are unlimited. It’s a wonder how we ever managed with out our CD burners.
