legal music files from the internet to your
computer hard disc, or create such files by
converting audio CD files in your computer
through appropriate encoder software.

for MP3 files.)

Creating a MP3 CD:
burn the music files
from your computer hard disc on a CDR or
CDRW using your CD burner.
Helpful hints:
