| When it comes to burning (or copying/writing) a downloadable audio book to CD, you must be sure that it is not for commercial purpose, but strictly for personal use. Violating this law can get you into serious problems with copyright infringement. Downloadable audio books are still under copyright, even after paying to download them. The only instance where they are no longer under copyright is when the authors or translators have died over 70 years ago. There are certain publications by government that are not under copyright. However, the rule of "only for personal use" is still the ultimate rule when it comes to burning any downloadable audio book to a CD.
In addition, when it comes to burning audio books to CD, you might need more than one CD for an audio book. For example, an audio book of about 10 hours can take as many as seven CDs. However, eMediaXpress.com makes this easy for you by already having the downloadable audio books split up into parts. Each part of an audio book will fit onto one CD.
eMediaXpress.com also automatically gives you three different file sizes in your download area for each audio book you download. You can choose a smaller file size with a small loss of sound quality, giving you the opportunity to download quicker and fit more onto a CD. You can go middle of the road for file size and sound quality. Alternatively, of course, there is always the high quality sound available in a larger file size, but just takes longer to download and you will fit less of the audio book onto a single CD.
Below are the steps to take to burn (or copy) any downloadable audio book into CD:
NOTE: The below instructions are based on Windows Media Player Version 10. If you are using an older version, you can download the latest version from Microsoft's website. Here is the exact link -

1. The computer you want to use to burn the audio book to CD must be equipped with a recordable CD drive and CD-burning software. The CD-burning software tells the recordable CD drive what settings, file information, and content to actually burn on the CD.
2. Find the audio book you downloaded and open it in Windows Media Player. Ensure that you choose "Full Mode" when doing this, not "Skin Mode".
3. You will notice the "now playing" information displayed on the right-hand side of your Windows Media Player. If not, you should click the "Restore the Video and Visualization Pane" button to display it.
4. You can now click the "Library" tab. You will notice the "Start Burn" button displayed.
5. At this point, insert the blank CD into the recordable CD drive.
6. Click the "Start Burn" button. Your Windows Media Player will begin burning the audio book to the CD you have inserted.
When the entire burning process is finished, the display will show the status as "Complete".
