How do I straight burn CDs? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I've got that Windows Media Player which I've been using to burn CDs, but I don't know how to transfer the data from one CD directly to another CD. How do I do this?

My system has two cd trays. One's a standard 52x cd-rom and the other was a cd-rw. All I did was put the cd in the first one, the writeable cd in the burner and picked "copy music cd" from the software and picked the location of the cd. I use Roxio Easy CD Creator which came with the burner. It was pretty easy.

Just about any CD burning program (Easy CD Creator, Nero) can do this for you. I use CloneCD and find that it works wonderfully for CD duplication. If you have only the CD-RW drive, then all you have to do is insert the original, let the program read the data, then the program will ask for the blank media and you swap them.

Yeah, go find nero. I believe there is a single button that reads: direct-copy CD.

You pull out the lighter, flick it until there is a flame, hold under CD until melting begins. As it melts the plastic itself will start to burn, put down on a noncombustible surface as it will get too hot to handle.

By the way a match, flamethrower, etc, will work too in case you do not have a lighter.

Hope this helps.

Nero. www.nero.com - download it, crack it, burn it. Well thats my motto anyways.

i like a program called alcohol 120% it tends to defeat most protection methods.

Alchohol is good too, but i would have both on your computer, so you can get the best of both worlds.

I would never use mediaplayer to burn. It has permission managing and will stomp on you bitrate, etc. junkware. Just use nero - I think it is best. Or I've used adaptec ez cd creator. Any real burning softward will have a copy disk function. Basically, all it does is copy the contents of the first disk onto your harddrive, so you need room on harddrive for it - then it prompts you to put a fresh disk in and done. I usually just copy the disk over myself using windows explorer (no, not internet explorer) and just burn it straight from my HD and then delete source files after. The key is to be sure to defrag your drive first. Then make sure to trun off any other apps or services you don't need, and once burning, walk away. don't try using apps. while burning or you could get data drops and exceed buffer cache, etc.
