But you do not and he does not need it at all. You download a bunch of songs off of AMazon, put a CD in your PC, drag and drop them onto your cd-r in XP and voila you have your music cd. Amazon is extremely easy to use, type name of music or genre find song and click to download which is on a highspeed server, and every song and CD is DRM free and very often you will find entire cd’s for less than 10 dollars and cheaper and individual tracks cheaper than 99 cents as well.
Dropping them onto a CD-R will not work in a normal CD player. They have to be converted, and you need a program for that. And I hate Windows Media Player (almost as much as Real Player). In iTunes I make a playlist, click a button, and the CD is burned. And even if you're using Amazon, you can just drop the songs onto iTunes.
