I've wanted to burn CDs for quite a while now, and I finally got to it last week! :]
I went through my dad's stuff and found a bunch of empty CD-Rs, stole them (he doesn't use them anymore lol), and got to work. I used Windows Media Player for my first "test" CD, and was super baffled at how simple it was. Unfortunately, the CD came out kind of bad, with tons of skipping and a messy track order.
Then I decided to try out this software for burning CDs/DVDs called 'Anyburn' to see if it made a difference, and it did! I could now choose to burn my CDs waaayyy slower, which probably helped a lot with the skipping issue I had. I was also able to rearrange the order of the songs on there, so I could listen to albums as intended, instead of having some randomized mess of a tracklist.
It's been so much fun, and I can't wait to burn even more CDs! I already have a mixtape made for the summer, can't wait to play it on my boombox while at the beach. :P
