Burn CDs Free of Charge

What you need to know to Burn CDs FREE of charge:

• I’ll show you what searching software to use and where to find it
• I’ll show you how to use the software to get lots of free goodies
• I’ll show you what burning software to use and where to find it
• We’ll talk about the legal implications

How do I find the FREE stuff ?

Good question and I am very glad you asked. There are basically two ways to find stuff so you can burn cds free.

• Torrents
• Usenet groups

Personally I prefer to use torrents but here are the pros and cons of each. As well as enough information to get you up and burning cds with the best of them.

Burn CDs Free of charge with Torrents

The best program is completely free http://www.utorrent.com. In fact when you go to their site they tell you. “If you paid for this program ask for your money back”.

You can pay for various services if you like which give you better searches but that is entirely up to you. Once you download the program just go up to search and start searching. If you have questions their FAQ (frequently asked questions) from the homepage is excellent.

Torrents Pros and Cons:

Pros:

1. very easy to search

2. you can scour the internet absolutely free

3. some of the best software is absolutely free

Cons:

1. you can easily download something malicious (always virus check everything you have downloaded)

2. you must make certain you are not illegally downloading copyrighted information

3. you often cannot find as much information as usenet groups

Note: If it is copyrighted DO NOT mess with it.

Burn CDs Free of charge with Usenet Groups

These are a series of groups which have been around since the dawn of the internet. There is a ton of information in these but there are some problems.

1. Most service providers have only a limited amount of usenet groups you can subscribe to
2. Even if a service provider has the usenet group you want they usually only store their searchable content for at most 45 days
3. How do you search this huge huge amount of information ?

Well to search is easy to download a program called grabit from either www.download.com or www.tucows.com. There is a pay version to this software but only get it if you absolutely must have it. Otherwise the free one is usually fine.

Ok what happens if there is a newsgroup not covered by my service provider that I need. Well you can ask your service provider to subscribe to it. Or you can get a paid service.

What is a good site to find tons of newsgroups so I can get the good stuff ?

Well the site I use is http://www.newshosting.com/.You can choose various levels based on how much you think you will download. There are 2 unlimited options both of which are below $20. Another good thing is they archive the newsgroups for over 70 days so you can really max out your searches.

Usenet Groups Pros and Cons:

Pros:

1. you can find almost anything you could possibly want

2. you can do basic searches for free and more advanced unlimited ones for under $25 a month

Cons:

1.finding things can be more difficult, searches can take awhile

2. can download something malicious (always virus check everything you have downloaded)

3. you must make certain you are not illegally downloading copyrighted information

Note: If it is copyrighted DO NOT mess with it. They are serious about catching copyright violators and unless you are a hacker extraordinaire and understand concepts like mirrors and onions routers you don’t even need to think you can outsmart them. Don’t believe sites that tell you not to worry about copyright laws. Yeh they are correct they don’t have to worry about copyright laws because they are in Russia, China or some other country that doesn’t honor US copyright laws. But unless you are as well you need to worry and get the copyrighted items legitimately.

Burning Software to Use to Burn CDs Free of charge

There are two standard burning software packages to use. Nero and Roxio. I prefer Nero but it is really just a preference they are both equally effective. Check your computer first as most come with either one free of charge when you get the CD burner. After all it is pretty worthless having aburning with no software associated with it.

Nero Roxio

There is a great, fast web browser named Opera that integrates torrent downloading software into it. So if want a great easy way to download torrents click here

Quick Advice on how to burn cds free of charge

1. If you are getting buffer over-run errors or having all sorts of odd errors slow down the burn speed
2. Make certain you burn into the correct format. If you have an mp3 player burn mp3’s. If you have a standard cd player select the option which burn to a cd which will play on most cd players. Both software packages will tell you what the cd will play on so make certain what you want before you burn. You do not want to create a drink coaster you want a cool cd to jam out to.
