MP3 burning

Hey guys, I'm looking into burning some MP3's but I've never done it before. What does a guy have to do different than if he was just burning a regular cd? And if you are pulling a song off of a website such as Kazaa, do you need to see the word MP3 at the end of the song title? I've got no clue, thanks in advance.

It depends alot on your cd player. Can it handle VBR (varible bit rate)? Most new models do. Anyway creating MP3 cd's are as easy as drag and drop! You just create a data CD that has the MP3 files right on it. Go ahead and put the whole folders on there to make it easier to switch to your favorite artist or album. When you download the song it should tell you what format it is in (ie. MP3 or WMA). If you want to make or change idv tags (which are used to store song info like artist, album, title etc.) I would suggest using a program like MediaMonkey.
MediaMonkey can also burn your MP3 cd's for you making the process all that much easier!

So if the song is downloaded in a WMA form as opposed to a MP3 form I can't use it for an MP3? Is this right? Thanks.

Depends if you cd player does just mp3's or wma flies. Most newer modles do both. If you have mediamonkey you can convert audio formats easily, realplayer works too i believe.
