How to Make a CD of Wedding Music
- 1). Pick out songs that you want to be played at the reception. A variety of song styles make dancing fun. Choose a romantic song for the first dance, line-dancing songs and danceable popular songs. Write down the song selection. If the chosen songs are already on your computer, move on to Step 3.
- 2). Upload CDs to the computer by placing them in the CD-R drive and saving them to the Music folder. Or, buy and download songs from online music sites (see Resources).
- 3). Put all the music files that you want on CDs into one folder and label it "Wedding Music."
- 4). Open the CD burning software on the computer. Most programs come with a simple user interface with clear instructions. Click "Create New Project" (or similar wording). Find the folder labeled "Wedding Music" and click "OK."
- 5). Insert a blank disc into CD-R drive. Click "Burn Disc." The computer will check to make sure the disc has enough room to hold the music. If there are too many songs, the program will post a message that asks if you want to put the songs on more than one disc. Click "Yes" and continue.
- 6). Wait for the CD to finish burning and remove from disc drive. Label this CD "Wedding Music" with a permanent marker and put it in a CD case. If the project requires more than one CD, insert the next CD into the drive to continue burning the CD of wedding music.
