Let’s find out the best programs to burn MP3 audio CDs on your PC in a totally free way.
The only requirement we need is the presence of a CD/DVD burner on our computer (both fixed and portable).
1) Windows Media Player
With Windows Media Player (integrated in every version of Windows still supported) you can burn MP3 files on a CD in an easy way.
The burning function is on the right of the program interface and you will only need to drag the files to the column called Burn as soon as you insert a blank CD.
From the options that appear by pressing the small button at the top right of the column we can choose whether to create a normal audio CD or a data CD to be filled with MP3.
You can also do the reverse operation and turn the tracks of a CD into mp3 files to keep on your computer or upload to the MP3 player.
To do this, simply insert the CD into the drive, open Windows Media Player and select the option to copy the tracks to your computer.
Clicking on the item Other Burning Options we will get a panel where you can configure every aspect of the burn, from speed to volume leveling among all the chosen tracks, so as to obtain a high quality audio CD also starting from files with different volumes and quality.
2) InfraRecorder
A good program to quickly burn audio CDs and MP3 CDs is InfraRecorder, available for free download from here -> InfraRecorder.
To make a standard Audio CD, just click on Audio Disc, while to create an MP3 disc, we will have to click on the Data Disc entry.
Now insert the empty disc and drag or load the tracks that we intend to burn, paying attention to the limits (with audio CDs about 18 tracks, while with MP3 CDs the limit is hundreds of tracks).
This program also allows you to completely copy an already created Audio or MP3 disc (using the Copy Disc voice ) and to import the songs saved on a disc thanks to the Read Disc option.
The rewritable discs will be managed automatically, so just insert them and open the program to choose whether to simply overwrite them or delete them before proceeding.

Once installed it allows you to create an audio CD by copying over 15 or 20 MP3 files depending on the length and to manage the burning in a very simple way.
This program does not offer many settings, we can choose only the maximum burning speed (which we recommend to keep as low as possible for maximum compatibility) and volume leveling for tracks from many sources and with different qualities.

Once you have entered the free license code, you can burn Audio CDs and MP3 CDs by clicking on the Music menu and using the Create Audio CD for a classic music CD or Create MP3 or WMA disc to create a data CD with your favorite MP3s.
There are also many other functions related to CD burning but also to audio in general, such as the ability to extract an audio CD to get high quality tracks, the ability to extract tracks on PC and to manage rewritable CDs so to be able to reuse them more frequently.
