Thanks Paul, this is excellent to file away as I do with all your tutorials. However, my question to the list was about a tutorial on Wavepad and how to use.

CD Burner XP Burning an audio disk.To begin using CD Burner XP for to burn an audio CD then follow these instructions;
1. First download and install CD Burner XP from the following link. http://ninite.com/cdburnerxp/ninite.exe1. Go onto the desktop after it has been installed and press enter key to open it up. In the main window it will have a list of the following items;
*. Data Disk. *. Video Disk. *. Audio Disk. *. Burn ISO Disk. *. Copy or grab disk. *. Erase disk.2. Arrow down to "Audio Disk" and press the "Enter key" once then wait for a couple of moments for the next screen to pop up into view. 3. Now press keys, "Control + J" to open up your folders list where then you navigate to wherever the audio files are contained you wish to burn to CD disk. 4. Now navigate to the folder with the MP3 files or whatever kind of audio files they are and select them all with "Control + A" or just select the amount of tracks that you wish to burn. 6. When you have selected the tracks, use the tab key to move to the OK button and press spacebar. Now you will be back into the main CD Burner XP window. 7. To begin the burn, make sure that you have your blank disk in the drive and then press keys, "Control + B" to open up the burn options screen.
You will have the following options; *. Burn speed. I usually set this to "24 x" using arrow keys. *. Number of copies. Default is "1". *. Pause between all tracks. By default, "2 seconds". *. Pause length. By default "2". *. Simulate burning process. "Checkbox not checked" *. Finalise disk. I usually have this set to "Checked". *. Shutdown PC after completion. "Not checked". *. Eject disk after burning. "Checked". *. Burn disk button. "Use spacebar" to activate this. *. Cancel button. "Use spacebar to activate this"8. Once the disk begins to burn it will take a while for the process to complete depending on how many tracks you are burning. When it completes an OK button will come up and the CD/DVD drive door will open up with your finished disk, press the spacebar to close the OK screen. 9. Finally, press keys, "Alt + F4" twice to close out completely of the CD Burner XP software and back onto your desktop.

Interesting Paul. Slightly different to what you had told me some weeks ago. Now my question is this: i want to burn an audio CD. It is an MP3 file and the playing time is over 3 hours. It is one file so I cannot divide it up. It is the opening cermony of the Paralympics. I can make a data CD and it will play on my computer or a DAISY player, however, just to be awkward, I want to be able to play it on a CD that is like a music centre, e.g. With a radio. Is there any way I can do this? -----Original message----- From: NCBI Support Sent: 28/09/2012, 8:05 am To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Creating an audio CD! Hi, If you are like me and have used the handy free software called "Free YouTube To MP3" software and downloaded many songs by this time then you might like to create a nice audio CD compilation of those songs. The cost in making such a disk is only the price of the blank CDS and you can usually fit up to 18 songs per blank CD. In this tutorial I will show you how to burn an audio CD using my favourite CD burning software which is called CD Burner XP instead of perhaps the usual Windows Media player software. You can download a free copy of CD Burner XP from the below link and install it on your computer; http://cdburnerxp.se/downloadsetup.exe Let's get started at organising our new audio CD. 1. First download and install the CD Burner XP software from the link above and install it. 2. Once installed the next thing to do is locate all those audio tracks you downloaded using the Free YouTube To MP3 software in the past. 3. Pick out about 18 of the tracks that you'd like to put onto a CD, to do this first set your folder view to "List" by using keys, "Alt + V + L". Note, do this when you are in the folder that contains the songs. 4. Using the "Control key" held down begin down arrowing through the list of songs and each song you come too that you'd like to have on the CD, press the "Spacebar" once to select it. Notes: Ensure that at all times you continue to keep the "Control key" pressed while arrowing through the list of songs and selecting them, when you have finished selecting all of the tracks you can then let go of the control key. 5. Now let's copy the tracks we have selected to the clipboard using keys, "Control + C", this should copy the songs to the Windows clipboard and if you are using a screen reader such as jaws it should say, "Copied to clipboard". 6. Now it's time to locate the burning software which is called "CD Burner XP" and there should be an icon located on the desktop, press keys "Windows key + M" to move onto the desktop then press "Letter C" till you hear your screen reader say "CD Burner XP". 7. Press the "Enter key" on the icon CD Burner XP" or double left click with the mouse if you are a mouse user. This will begin opening up the burning software. Notes: When the software opens up it will contain a list of items which you can use your arrow keys to move up or down through in order to make your selection or if you are a mouse user then you will probably see the item we need to select straight away in the list. The list contains the following items; *. Data Disk, sub menu. *. Video Disk, DVD sub menu. *. Audio Disk, Sub menu. *. Create ISO Disk, Sub menu. *. Copy or grab disk, Sub menu. *. Erase Disk, Sub menu. Notes: Use the up or down arrows to move through this list. 8. From the list, choose "Audio CD" and then press the Enter key on it. Wait a moment or two for a new dialogue to open up. 9. Now press the "Tab key" and you are in a new dialogue screen of choices which contain the following items; *. Main computer tree list which contains all main folders on your computer. *. Files and sub folders list box, here is contained any files or folders contained within the folder which has been selected from the previous tree view. *. Pressing the "Tab key" three times now will drop you into the blank burning screen which is usually empty till you place some tracks in there for burning. Notice that I mentioned for you to press the tab key three times, this was because the previous two items either don't read well with a screen reader or are of no real importance at this point. 10. Now that we are in the blank burning window it's time to paste in our music tracks we copied earlier, to do this press keys, "Control + V" and give it a few moments for the tracks to be in the burn window. 11. Now it's time to place into the CD burn drive of your computer the blank audio CD. Once this is done and the door closes you may find that after a few seconds a window opens up automatically asking what you want to do with this disk, just use keys "Alt + F4" to close or if a mouse user then close it with the "X" on the top right of the window. 12. Now let's begin setting up the burn options for our CD, really there isn't much to set here but the speed which I usually set at "24". To begin press keys, "Control + Letter B" and a burn settings screen opens up. This window contains the following items; *. Speed combo box. Here we use the arrow keys or mouse users scroll down through the list of available speeds. *. Number of copies, combo box. Choose how many CD copies of this compilation you wish to burn. *. Pause length, A group of radio buttons allowing you to choose how many seconds you want between each track. *. Pause Length combo box box, here you can type in the exact length you want between each track. *. Simulate burning process, checkbox not checked. *. Finalise disk, checkbox not checked. *. Shutdown computer after completion, checkbox not checked. *. Eject disk after burning, checkbox checked. *. Burn disk, Button. Notes: Use the tab key to move to each of the above controls if you are a keyboard user. 13. All we need really to set in here is the "burn speed" which is the first control. Tab over to this combo box and using the down arrow, move to "24 x = 4200 kbS" then press the tab key once to the OK button and press the Spacebar to complete. 14. All that remains is for you to tab over to the "Burn button" and press the Spacebar to begin burning your new CD. Notes: This process takes a while depending on how many songs you are burning, the speed of your CD/DVD burning drive and other factors so be patient with it and when the process has completed you will know because the CD/DVD drive door will open up and you will have your newly created disk. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
