Take care.

P.s. At first I thought your display name was Double Eagle, good thing I
checked to find, it is Double Legal. LOL

Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] makeing a compilation cd
Hello Yvonne,
These are instructions I use with Windows Media Player 10. If you have
10
on
your computer then this should work. It looks like a lot to do, but it
really isn't.
Good luck ...
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.
