Galen Bolin on burning music

I hope everyone enjoyed my presentation on how to get the most from your CD recorder on April 8. I also showed you how to "burn" custom music to a CD for use in a audio CD player and perform simple edits using a .wav editor. If you want additional information or for those that missed the meeting you can get lots of info from the following web sites.
