Hi Steve, If you have Windows Media Player on your computer already, you are set.
Here are the instructions for burning a CD using Media Player 10. 1. select tracks that you want to make into an audio cd, and copy them all into an empty folder. 2. Press control A to select all the files in that folder, and then control C to copy them. 3. Put a CDR disk in the drive. If your computer is configured to show a dialogue box after a few moments prompting you to choose an action, tab to the cancel button and press the spacebar; or arrow down to "Take No Action" and press enter. 4. Go to My Computer; press enter on your cd burner. Once the burner opens, JAWS will say, list view, zero items. Paste your files here with control V. (Give it time to copy the files into the burner list) 5. You can now arrow up and down through the files to make sure they are in the order you want them to burn. If not, you can delete the file that is out of order by arrowing to that file and pressing your delete key. Then go back to the original file you copied the files from, select the file you'd like to put back into the CD burner where you want it. Copy that track and then paste it where you want it in the list. (There is a way to move the files around in the "burn" list, but I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that) 6. Once the files are in the order you want, press the F5 key to deselect the files. 7. Press your applications key (the key to the left of the control key on the right side of your keyboard) This brings up the "view" menu. Then press T. This brings up your CD writing wizzard. You can name your CD at this point. (Make it short) Tab once the very first time you burn a CD. This brings up a checkbox which says, "close the wizzard after the files have been written." Make sure that box is checked. Tab again to the next button and press the spacebar. 8. This brings up a dialog box giving you the choice to make a standard audio disc or a data disc. You want to stay on the standard audio radio button. 9. Tab twice to the next button and press the spacebar. Windows Media Player will now open up automatically. 11. Press ALT+F to open the file menue. 12. Press C for CD's & Devices menu. This brings up an option to Rip or Burn audio CD's. JAWS should say Rip audio CD unavailable. 13. Arrow down once to "Burn audio CD dot dot dot" and press enter. 14. Press Alt+B to start burning the CD. (Be patient, it takes some time for the files to be converted from MP3 or WAV files to files that can be written on the CD. It can take up to a couple of minutes depending on how many files you are burning. Be listening to your CPU for the sound of the CD being burned - unfortunately, JAWS does not announce when this process starts or stops) When burning is complete, the cd should eject on its own. You now have an audio CD you can play in most all CD players, but you are not done yet. You still have Windows Media Player and your CD burner open. there are some things to do with the CD burner and Media Player before you can close them out. For Windows Media Player: 1. Tab around until you hear the "Now Playing" button and press enter. This will take you out of the "burn" mode and back into the standard mode. (Make sure you press enter on the "now playing" button, and not the "now playing menu" button which is one tab further. 2. Press Alt+F4 to close the player. If for some reason doing this does not set you back into the normal mode, here's something else to do. 1. Press Alt+f to open the file menu. 2. Press W for "work offline". 3. Close Media Player. 4. Open Media Player back up. 5. Hit Alt+f again for the file menu. 6. Press W again to uncheck "work offline". 7. Now tab around again to the "now playing" button and hit enter. This should take care of any problems. For the CD Burner: 1. In the CD burner you should see the list of the files that you started with. Hit your spacebar anywhere in that list to put your focus on the list. 2. Press Control+A to select all of the files. 3. Press Shift+delete. JAWS will ask you if you are sure you want to delete all of these temporary files. Press the spacebar on yes. These are only temporary files that were loaded into the burner so deleting these will not affect any of your original music files that you copied from in the first place. (Pressing Shift+delete instead of just the delete key, gets rid of these files without putting them into the recycle bin) You can now close the CD burner with Alt+F4. Now, you are done. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Crews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 5:05 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] accessible cd burning software > Hello, What is a simple, accessible software for burning audio cd's? > > Thanks > > > > Steve Crews > > 202 North Country Lane > > Desloge, Mo. 63601 > > 573-431-3325 > > > > > > Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: > http://www.jaws-users.com > Address for the list archives: > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > To post to this group, send email to > [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject > or body of a blank message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Use the following form in order to contact the management team > http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php > If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the > following address: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
