Music Downloading problem

[derekpara]

When I try to burn music to a CD I am always asked to 'insert a blank CD' even though there may only be one other number on it. Burning won't occur if I ignore the message. Why is this and can I do anything about it ?

Thanks.

When burning a music CD, you need a blank CD. You can't add songs on to the end of an already finished CD whether it has 1 song or 99 songs on it.

depending on your software you may be able to set to multi-session,this will let you add more,but you will need to finalise the disc to play it on other than your computer.You could build up your collection on a USB drive and when enough ready copy from that to a CD

the guys are right
it's not correct .... but right ....
the whole thing will be far easier if you take it that ...
basically a cd is a one shot medium
with DCrw you can use the disc more than once .....
but it needs to be wiped between uses.

at an average price of 20p ... be extravagant.

ianmunt has the right idea .... hang on to the files untill you have a reasonable number....

alternatively ... use a cdrw disc .... burn what you have .....keep the files in a folder
then when you get another batch add them to the folder .... wipe the cd and re record it.
