this pc i have is the windows media center edition ,, it does more things than i know how to do,or can imagine, i burn a music cd/dvd which is no big deal , , from window media player, or the windows media center. the media center is prettier, i have my favorite cds ripped to the computer, the albums are in both places, i just click the album picture it got off the internet when i ripped it, , and it opens with all the songs and it has a list of thing to do, and one thing on the list is create a cd/dvd. im not sure it will put music on a dvd, i have never tryed, i just make cds, from the albums, so i can have one of each in my car and truck, they are wma.i use dvds for videos only., on my older pc i had lots of converters,saved most in mp3 back then, and stuff, but i dont do much now, i have the music i want, the media center has not only music but all pictures and any media on the pc, i think i ripped the cds to the computer using the window media player before i even fiddled with the media center,,the player it has rip on the top and also burn,and other things, but i for a long time never even opened the media center , and i like it better, , but on both all my albums i have ripped to the pc is in the album library on each of them. long time ago i used music match jukebox, but i dont have it on this pc, i do my older one, but i have all i will need and also, im sure it does tons of stuff i know nothing about, being the media center edition pc that i ordered,, but it burns all the songs on the album, it list them, unless i tell it to leave some off, which i dont do,, i in the past have chose the quality of the sound, but i have not fiddled with that in so long,, i have all i need. i actually fiddled with music more on my older pc,than this one, i have over 200 individual songs on my older pc, i belonged to a music club, some women had, all u did was upload a song a week or u got booted off, and then requested a song or album u want, and someone would upload it, i was amazed at things ppl would upload that i had no idea they would have, but someone did,,,and i just downloaded it off the list,. i think they all had to be in mp3 that was years ago,,i forgot her name, she had some kinda disclaimer on the club.. and u had to have a friend recommend a new person to join from a member.. but again that was years ago...
