Re: copying to cd/dvd

XP cannot burn to a DVD. You need third party software.

In the case of music files downloaded from iTunes they are copy protected, I
don't think you would be able to do what you want easily. If you have third
party software for DVD burning you can try burning a disk full of MP3 files,
but it may not work in your standalone.

There are ways and means around copy protection, but you'd have to google
for them.
