PC help: Minidisc to CD

How to create CDs from Minidisc files

Written by Tim Smith, Anthony Dhanendran, Computeract!ve

I have transferred some Minidiscs to my PC. Can I take this a stage further and create CDs from the transferred tracks?
Thomas Ede

Once the music files are on the computer they can be treated like any other audio files on the computer. Windows Media Player 11 can create audio CDs. Click on the Burn icon at the top of Windows Media Player. Drag-and-drop music files from the main part of the screen to the Burn list on the right. Make sure that the picture of the CD has the text ‘Audio CD’ next to it.

If not, click on the small down arrow at the bottom of the Burn button at the top and then on the Audio CD option. The coloured bar beneath the CD image shows how much space is left on the CD. Click on the Start Burn button when you are happy with the tracks on the disc to make the CD.
