Part 2. How to Burn Audio to CD on Windows 8 with Default Way
On the other hand, if you’re looking to burn audio to a CD using only a Windows 8 PC, then there’s a way of doing that as well! For this, all you’ll really need is an empty disc and a DVD driver that will read, and process said discs for you. Of course, it’s not going to be as clean-cut and easy as using the Wondershare DVD Creator, but it will do in a pinch. Especially if you don’t mind a slightly longer wait time during the burning stage.
How to Burn Audio to CD on Windows 8 with Default Way
Step One: Blank Disc
Insert a blank disc into a DVD driver connected to your computer to start the process! Then, you need to navigate your computer and search for the DVD drive (it should be under This PC.)
- ● Once discovered, double-click on the DVD drive and a pop-up menu will appear (shown in the image below.) There, you’ll be asked to name your disc and choose whether you want a re-writeable data disc or to burn files permanently onto the disc.
For our purposes, we chose the latter — which is the with a CD/DVD Player option.
Step Two: Drag Audio Files
If you clicked next to finalize your choice, you’ll be led to a folder (like the one shown below.) Here, you can drag and drop the audio files that you want to burn into your disc.
Step Three: Manage and Burn
Once you’re done moving the audio files onto the folder, click the Manage tab at the top toolbar. There, you’ll be given the option to “Burn” your files onto the CD. Click the “Burn” option and wait for your CD to finish processing.
Part 3. Burn Audio Files to CD with VLC
As an extra little tip, we’ve also included a third demonstration for how you can use the VLC media player to burn audio files onto a CD. VLC is a popular media player that is FREE and just so happens to be more advanced than other programs that do not offer as many features! This tutorial will be a little different than the rest, but not so much that it will be a hardship for you! Just follow along with the step-by-step down below and make sure that you have a blank disc and a DVD driver handy.

After launching the VLC media player, you will need to create a Playlist for the audio you want to burn. This can be done on the Playlist tab. There, you can simply drag and drop media files onto the screen to create your playlist.
Step Two: Media > Convert/Save
Once you have your media all organized in a playlist, it is time to burn it into the blank CD. To do that, simply click the Media tab and then select the “Convert/Save” option from the drop-down menu.
Step Three: Disc > Convert/Save
An Open Media will pop-up on your screen (as shown below.) Follow the instructions below in order to permanently burn your files onto the CD.
