[Tutorial]Burning a CD with 150-200 Songs

Everyone has been asking me lately about how to make a CD with 150 to 200 songs. This tutorial will cover all the necessary steps in making the CD but please check the requirements before proceeding. In order to burn and play the CD you need the following:
-CD-RW drive

-Blank CD(700mb CD(CD-R is preffered since CD-RWs tend to not work with certain players., no DVD-R/RWs)
-CD Player with MP3 CD support(Please refer to your system for this)

Step One: Obtaining a Software
Obtain software that will enable you to burn MP3 CDs. In this tutorial, I will be using Nero 8 Portable.

Links(You can find the software here.)

Rapidshare
Megaupload
Mediafire

*If you are using your own software, skip step two.

Step Two: Setting up your software
Unzip the file from the .rar by simply right-clicking>select extract here/extract to...(to specify a folder). If it does not show the extract option, you can download WinRaR here.

Photobucket

Once extracted, a file called "Nero8" will appear. When it is opened, a promp will ask where to extract it. The default will be on the folder where Nero8 is, so I suggest using that.

Photobucket

A folder called "NeroPortable" will be extracted. Open "NeroExpressPortable" then select "Music" and then "Jukebox Audio CD"

Step 3: Adding Songs
You can add songs by
-Dragging and dropping
-Clicking the drag icon

*Please be reminded that this CD should contain mp3 files only. This will make sure that ALL the songs are playable in MP3 CD players. This is due to the fact that there are older MP3 CD players that do not support the other formats(other formats include MP3, WMA, M4A)

Step 4: Burning Songs into a CD
Proceed to the burning page of the program, in Nero Express' case, its "Next". Select your CD writer.(In most cases, the recored named "Image Recorder" is not the right one. Make sure that it says "[CD-R/RW]". Name your CD, press burn and then wait for it to finish.


Step 5: Enjoy
This is pretty much self-explanatory.
