Oh god. This is like asking about operating a telegraph or something. It’s been so long since I thought about this, but I used to know how to do it.

Back in the day, you’d get Nero Burning ROM or some software like that, put a blank writeable cd in the burner (not the reader, if there are two drives) and then load the files into the program and make sure you burn it as a music cd otherwise there’s a chance your stereo won’t know what to do with it.

If the files are mp3’s you may have to convert them to wav or some other format first, on the off-chance that there still exist stereos that can’t read mp3’s even when you do burn it as a music cd.

I’m sure you can find a modern and comprehensive guide on YouTube these days.

I couldn't think of the name of the software there for a second but remembered the icon of the Colosseum on fire which led me to recalling it was called Nero. Haven't thought about that in over a decade.
