How to create an MP3 CD from the music data registered to a playlist?

Creating an MP3 CD from the music data registered to a playlist.

Note:
1. The creation of an original MP3 CD is possible only when the VAIO computer has a CD-RW drive or a CD-R drive.
2. Use the following disc when creating an original MP3 CD:
- Brand new unused CD-RW or CD-R media.
- MP3 CD which session is not closed.
3. Only songs in the MP3 format can be written to the original MP3 CD.

Please note the following when writting songs to a CD-RW or CD-R media.
1. Under the System Properties dialog box, do not disable the Automatic Notification of Insertion option of the CD-RW or CD-R drive.
2. While writing data to a CD-RW or CD-R media:
- Do not start any programs or perform other tasks (including the memory-resident programs such as screen savers).
- Do not press any key on the keyboard.
3. Do not use a CD-RW or CD-R media to which a label is attached. (Using such media may cause writing error or malfunction.)
5. Do not connect the hard disk drive and the CD-R/RW drive to the same IDE connector.
6. Do not carry out any other tasks that may apply load to the CPU and the hard disk drive of the computer.
