Create Music CDs

Button:

Using your Playlist, MUSICMATCH will create music CDs for use in home, auto, portable and other conventional CD players.

 

For best results when creating CDs for use on conventional CD players, use commercial, "name-brand" CD-R media specifically designed for digital audio. This will ensure compatibility with the highest number of CD players. Generic CD-R media may not work properly on some conventional home, portable or car CD players. For information on the types of CD media supported, click here.
