Hi Alex, The steps are broken down pretty well and the writing is
clear. I think I could follow it no problem, but I got it neetly
into 9 steps in simply burns. That's mostly because you can
dispense with all the playlisting stuff. It's a good guide. Let me
know if you're interested in mine and I'll send it off to you.
Best,

Hi,
Let me know what you think of this guide I put together for one of
my very close students.
We will focus here on burning an audio CD using ITunes.
Suppose we have aMP3 file with the name "Sample.mp3". We want to
burn it onto a CD to listen to on a CD Player.
1. Open "Sample.mp3" with ITunes. On a new Mac this is probably the
default application specified to open MP3 files.
2. Press "CMD" + "N" to create a new playlist. If you already have
a playlist that you want to burn, you can skip this and the next
steps.
3. Give the playlist a name. I will call it "SampleList". Then
press "Return".
4. Tab to the sources table and interact with it using "VO" +
"SHFT" + "Down Arrow".
5. "VO" + "Up/Down Arrow" until you get to the Music library
playlist. This is usually the first playlist in the list.
6. Tab once and type the name of the MP3 file you want to burn. In
this case I am going to type "Sample".
7. Tab again to the songs list. You may have more than one result.
Interact with the table and "VO" + "Up/Down Arrow" until you find
the song you want.
8. "VO" + "SHFT" + "M" to open the contextual menu.
9. "VO" + "Down Arrow" until you hear "Add to Playlist". Then "VO"
+ "Right Arrow". From the list that then appears, you can "VO" +
"Up/Down Arrow" until you find the playlist to which you want to
add the song for burning, and "VO" + "Space" on it.
10. Shift Tab twice and follow steps 6-9 again for any more songs
you wish to add to the playlist we are going to burn.
11. "SHFT" + "Tab" again twice until you hear the Sorces Table.
12. Insert a blank CD. A message may appear asking you what to do
with the disk. Tab to ignore and press "VO" + "Space" on "Ignore".
13. Now, interact with the sorces table in ITunes and "VO" + "Up/
Down Arrow" until you find the playlist you wish to burn. In this
case I will locate the "SampleList" playlist I created earlier.
14. No open the contextual menu again and "VO" + "Up/Down Arrow"
until you find the option "Burn Playlist to Disk". "VO" + "Space"
on this and a dialog will appear.
15. Now "VO" + "Right Arrow" until you hear "Audio CD Radio
Button". If it says selected then don't worry. If not, "VO" +
"Space" on it to select it.
16. You can now set the "Gap Between songs" and many other features
of the burning utility using standard navigational commands.
17. Now "VO" + "Right Arrow" until you hear "Burn" and press "VO" +
"Space".
18. Let ITunes do its stuff. It may say "Busy", but not to worry.
19. When ITunes completes the burning, you will hear a sound
indicating that ITunes has finished burning the CD.
20. Now Eject the CD from the drive using the standard "Eject" Key,
usually located at the top right hand corner of Macbbooks and
Macbook pros, as well as on the top right hand corner of the old
Apple keyboards. You can also accomplish this by pressing "CMD" +
"E" when the disk is selected in Finder or in the ITunes Sources
Table.
21. Enjoy your newly burned CD in any standard CD Player, as well
as in your Mac.
