Burning A Cd

[Connemmara]

Some years ago I was able to burn CDs galore but have lost the gift.

There is a gentleman who is with me in the music class and he has never heard of Any Dream will Do so therefore finds it difficult to pick up the rhythm - he has trying to play for 3 years. I don't think he can afford to buy the CD when he only wants one song.

I would like to burn one for him - anybody tell me from the start again. Thanks

Legal? Well, it's a grey area, let's put it that way. It's doubtless true that a lot of the music stuff posted on YouTube is illegal (YouTube's own guidelines tell us not to upload copyrighted material, but people do it all the time). As for YouTube Downloader, download.com doesn't provide illegal software as far as I know, and in any case what you'd be doing isn't 'file-sharing' - you're simply downloading material which has been made publicly available.
Incidentally, another way of finding MP3 files is to use mp3skull.com - just a case of registering (free) and searching for the song(s) you want. Not everything is there, but it has rarely let me down.

Thanks Ana, much appreciated. x

I remember downloading stuff from LimeWire, and OH telling me off, so I stopped. Not before I had quite a nice playlist for my computer though.

Have a look on Amazon, Mrs C, and see if it's available for under £1. If you enjoy the music as much as you say then the producers and musicians deserve their money, donchooo think?

mrs.chappie. It is illegal to download music from YouTube, there is no grey area as suggested by anaxcrosswords.
Just because the music has been 'made publicly available' that does not make it legal for you to make a copy for your own use. A good rule of thumb to follow is 'if you didn't pay for the copyrighted music or film but downloaded it anyway you are probably breaking the law'.

[mrs.chappie]

Already done that, HC, and no, definitely not available for under a quid.

Yes, I do agree with the principle that the musicians deserve their money - which is why I asked about the legality of music being available to us on t'internet these days.

[mrs.chappie]

Oops, sorry Daffy, wasn't ignoring you, your post wasn't there when I started typing.

Ah, thanks HC....I was looking at buying it on a CD. I'm not clued up on the ways of t'internet....I presume you buy it and then put it onto your own CD?

Do I need special software to do this?

[hc4361]

No, it will be downloaded to your pc just as if you were downloading from LimeWire.

Then you add it to whichever music library you use and burn to cd. Easy peasy.

[mrs.chappie]

Thanks HC. I'll give it a go.

answerprancer - download the ashampoo okay but believe it or not don't know where to start looking for the audio Any Dream will do - where will I find it. thanks

[Connemmara]

Actually what I am wanting to know how to make a playlist - forget that completely too.

[hc4361]

Conne - I gave you the link to Any Dream Will Do, from Amazon.

You don't need AShampoo. If your pc has a cd burner it will already have software to do the job. Windows Media Player will let you create libraries and burn to cd.

[Connemmara]

No being mean re money do you pay for Amazon - just wanting to know this - cos need to know how to pay the bloody money too - am really getting out of this way computing.

[hc4361]

Is an MP3 a CD as it were - cos when I was looking definitely the wrong thing - it seems to be the old vinyl record. will try again - thanks for having patience with me.

[hc4361]

That link is for the mp3 download. The track will be downloaded directly to your pc.
