Go to the
Tips & Tricks section of the forum & you'll find lots more that will be handy to know about music & video burning. Remember a cd-rw will only play on your computer & many dvd players. It's a good way to check it out though before burning to cd-r which is what's needed if you want to play it on car cd players & average stereo players.
Oh but if it's an mp3 disk you want to burn then remember you can only play it on certain mp3 players that play full size cd's & your computer & some dvd players. But then an mp3 disk can hold perhaps 8 times more music than your average audio cd. (eg: about 500 mins depending on song quality.) Just remember it's limitations though!
