Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] burning CD's using windows media player
I have this old instruction from a friend, hope it helps.
This is how I do it.
Burning an Audio CD with Windows Media Player 10 and XP
1. Create a temporary folder, and name it something like, files to burn.
This folder can be created in My Documents, or wherever you want to have
it.
2. Now, select a group of files that you want to make into an audio cd,
and copy them to the folder you just created.
3. Once copying is complete, close the folder, and highlight it, then
press alt + enter to open the properties of that folder.
4. When the properties dialogue opens, route Jaws to Pc, and then start
reading upward one line at a time. You should come to the point where the
size
of the folder is given.
5. If the size of the folder is less than 650mb, you may add files up to
that number. If the size is larger than 650mb, you will need to remove
some files
until the size is 650mb, or a little less.
Note: While it is possible to burn a slightly larger compilation than
650mb, I wouldn't recommend doing this with Media Player, since it is not
as advanced
as other burning software.
6. Once you have achieved the proper size, it is time to start the burn
process. Close the properties of the folder, and then open the folder.
7. Press control + A, to select all files in the folder, and copy them to
the clipboard.
8. Now, go to My Computer, and select your cd burner, and press enter to
open it.
9. When the burner opens, Jaws will say, list view, zero items. Paste your
files here, and wait for the copying to finish.
10. When copying has finished, place a CDR disk in the drive, and close
the drawer. If a dialogue pops up, and prompts you to choose an action,tab
to the
cancel button and press the spacebar.
11. Focus should be returned to the cd drive, if not, then alt tab, until
you return to the cd drive.
12. Now, open the file menu, and arrow to, write these files to cd, and
press enter. This will open the cd writing wizard.
13. Here you have an oppourtunity to name your cd, so do so. After you
have typed a name for the cd, tab once.
14. You will land on a checkbox, which should read, close the wizard after
the files have been written, if this is not checked press the spacebar to
check
it.
15. Tab to the next button, and press the spacebar. In this dialogue, you
will be presented with 2 radio buttons, and the first one should be
checked.
Make an audio cd for standard cd players.
16. Tab to the next button, and press the spacebar, here's where the fun
begins.
17. Windows Media Player should now be open, and you will be asked if you
wish to search for files. Tab to the no button, and press the spacebar.
18. Tab until you come to the, burn button, and press the spacebar.
19. Tab again until you come to the, start burn button, and press the
spacebar. This will start the burn process.
20. When burning is complete, the cd will be ejected, then just close the
drawer.
21. Return to the cd drive in, my computer, and press enter to open it,
then you will see the files there that were burned to the cd. Open the
file menu,
and select delete temporary files, and press enter. You will get a
confirmation dialogue, so just press the spacebar on the, yes, button.
You are done.
Note: If you want to burn another cd with the same files, repeat steps 12
thru 19 outlined above.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] burning CD's using windows media player
Hi, everyone,
I've been making CD's for a friend in Maine but not using the computer. I
have a stereo with a CD recorder but there are some songs I can't do for
my friends because I don't have the capability of copying from one CD to
another. I can only copy from a vinyl album or a cassette. How do I burn a
CD using windows media player?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Rosemarie
