This week I'll be mostly making a compilation cd

Burning a cd.
Not sure if I'm doing it right?
I come from a generation of kids who used to sit in their bedrooms on Sunday nights with a radio and a tape recorder, taping the music off the Top 40 on Radio 1. It was quite an exacting science. I think I speak for most of us when I say that it was incredibly important to not have any talking from the DJ in your recording. There was an art to working out when the record was beginning to fade and Tony Blackburn was just about to start wittering on, or Tommy Vance was going to share more wisdom. You'd hit pause at just the right point - or if you were too late, press stop, quick split-second blast of rewind, then record and pause - then wait for the next song.
