Most burners come with Adaptec Easy CD creator. Using it is pretty easy and self explanatory for all features EXCEPT taking songs off one CD to burn onot another, like if you're making a copy of an entire disc or doing a compilation cd.
I am not at my computer right now--I am at my parents, so I don't have the software on this PC to pull it up and put step=by-step instructions right now.
Once you know how its done it is ridiculously easy.
If no one else posts by then, I'll post it when I am back in LA and on my own computer.
Now if you DON'T have adpatec on your PC, DON'T BUY IT AS IT PRETTY MUCH SUCKS. Nero and Roxio are the better burning programs out there and CompUSA has them for pretty cheap. I plan on getting Nero ASAP as adaptec --while easy, errors out for no good reason far too often.
Also, you may want to check out nancies.org and go to the "trading section" and read up on burning there or post a newbie question of your own--the veterans are pretty good about helpingout over there.
