Box to cds

[David Zornes]

Friends, how do I transfer a song from the Box app to a cd? By the way, the song is an mp3 file.

[Jack Stoner]

First thing, copy the file to your hard drive.

The CD depends on what/how you want to play it. If you want the MP3 to play on something that accepts MP3's then just burn a "data" disc.
If you want a regular "audio" CD then the file needs to be converted to a wav file and you create an "audio" disc.

First you should download the file from Box to your computer. Your computer desktop is a good place to store it.

A MP3 file is considered a data file by a computer so a CD that stores a MP3 file will be a data CD. Data CDs can store any kind of computer file including pictures, pdf and video. Many CD players can playback a MP3 but many audio only CD players can not playback a MP3 file. CD players that can playback a MP3 file typically have a MP3 emblem somewhere.

Audio CDs can not playback MP3s. The MP3 file would first need to be converted to a wave file. You also need software capable of creating an audio CD. Then the wave file can be stored on an audio CD. An audio CD can store up to 74 minutes of audio.

Open the folder on Box where the mp3 is stored. Click on the 3 dots on the Box mp3 icon and select download. Pay attention to where it is going on your computer. It is usually the "download folder". Then, do the following:

Insert a blank CD-R into your computer's CD drive.

Open the Windows Media App (included in Windows). Click the "Burn" tab in the program. Select "Music CD" under the drop-down menu there.

Open the folder where the file is saved and drag the downloaded file over to the "Burn List" in Windows Media Player.

Click the "Start burn" button and your MP3 will be burned into a CD using the CDA format.
