Burn Music CDs the Easy Way on Windows
Let’s face it: sometime you still need to burn an old-school music CD. Digital music players aren’t for everyone, and making a custom CD as a gift is still nicer than handing someone a bunch of zipped MP3′s. If you are running Windows, the easiest way I know to burn a music CD is with Burrrn:
Burrrn is a little tool for creating audio CDs with CD-Text from various audio files.
Supported formats are: wav, mp3, mpc, ogg, aac, mp4, ape, flac, ofr, wv, tta, m3u, pls and fpl playlists and cue sheets. You can also burn EAC’s noncompliant image + cue sheets! Burrrn can read all types of tags from all these formats (including ape tags in mp3).
I especially like the way it converts song information from your tags to CD-Text so that CD players can display song and artist info for each track. Very nice. Although Burrrn is free, please consider sending a small thank-you to the programmer by way of a donation.
