burning cd's

i would like to leard how to burn cd'as from the puter to a disc. i dont know where to begin. i seem to have several media programs on the puter (i have windows xp home, an emachine c2825, and ie6) these are some
viewpoint media player
realplayer 10
realtek sound manager - Av

 

damm. i got cut off..
realtrek sound manager - AvRack
winamp
windows mwedia player

some of these are obviously spare but i don't know where they came from. to the best of my knowledge i haven't downloaded any CD software, but Zoe may have done. remember this has to be simple. i want the Cd's for my own personal use. i would like to download some of the music i had to leave in england. (cream, the band, Nealson's the point, Beatles, stones, Jethro Tull, Floyd, dire straights, early prince, etc. predominately late sixties, 70's and eighties.) not that they would be any good now. was there ever a way to copy an album from record to CD?? lol.
so what do i use? where do i go? how do i do it?
much aloha and thanks in advance. http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/comic11.gif

 

Hi Laurie,

You should check out CDBurnerXP 3.0.113 Beta - People seem to like it!

Also - There ARE some nifty tools available to copy records to CD while removing a lot of unwanted noise such as hisses and pops. I've been meaning to do this for years since I've got a lot of rare vinyl which hasn't been reissued on CD. Just haven't been able to find the time to look into it seriously. Yet

I asume you have CD burner on that Emachine.

Here is good program free to download music WinMX 3.53:

XP has burning program built in the OS, Just right click on file or song, and send to CDrw drive.
I prefer Nero 6 Ultra (although not free).

Here is Good free burn program, DeepBurner 1.1.2.137:
