Years ago if you wanted to own a band’s CD, you had to buy it in a record store or purchase it online and with the cost around $10, it adds up. If you were like me, you couldn’t afford to buy all the CD’s you wanted so you just waited for them to be played on the radio.

Then came those music shareware sites like Napster that made it really easy and cheap to download your favorite songs. You just store the songs on the computer’s hard drive and add it to your MP3 player if you wanted.

Since most cars have a CD player, you may have wanted to transfer your downloaded files to a CD. This is when a CD burner came in handy. Just about every computer has 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.

A nice thing about a CD burner is you can burn songs from one CD to another or burn songs off of your hard drive.

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 might think a CD burner can only copy songs or audio recordings but this isn’t the case. You can also copy different files, programs, pictures, games, etc. You can burn all kinds of files. How did we ever live without a CD burner?
