2. Click Burn Files (Fig 76).
3. Click Burn an Audio CD (Fig 76).

You can try the other option in your spare time. But for now
choose
audio.
4. Place a blank cd into your drive compartment.
5. Click the arrow to select the drive compartment (Mine is drive letter E). Refer to Fig 77. 6. Click Open Drive Tray to open the drive that you selected in step 5 (Fig 77).

If you have a faster external drive than the built in one for your computer, select it instead. It should perform the burning quicker. A 16X external writer will perform the burn process twice as fast as an 8X writer.

7. Close the drive compartment.
8. If windows prompt you with another window (do not close Music Studio), close it.
9. Click Next button (Fig 77).
10. Notice the available time left before adding the files (Fig 78). The time shown is about right for an 80 minutes cd (79 minutes and 58 seconds)
11. When you add the files, the available time left will diminish (Fig 78) Time used will increase and time available will decrease. Keep your eye out for this, because you may have to remove tracks to allow the software to burn the tracks to your cd.
12. Click Add Files button to collect the files into this window for burning (Fig 78).
