Creating a New Project |
1. Create an Audio Project:
Brasero can write audio files to a CD, which allows you to play them in CD players. I recommend that you do not use a rewritable CD or CD-RW because not all CD players are compatible with them. For best results use a CD-R, this is a compact disc that is recordable and allows one-time recording on a disc. A blank CD or CD-R will hold up to 700 MB or 80 minutes of music.
To access Brasero: click on the Applications menu, then highlight the sub-menu Sound & Video, and click on Brasero.

disc.
