I just installed a CD burner in my computer. I have found numerous sites where I can download music, but can't figure out how to record them on my CD's. Anyone?????

I use ez cd creator. There should be some software with your burner that will enable you to do it.
I think tucows.com has some free utilities.

I can download the tunes using real music or windows media player. I can play them back, stop them, fast forward, etc. but there is no "save file" option.

Then they're not mp3 files. Probably streaming media. You need mp3 or wav files, or something that can be converted to wav.

If I understand this correctly, I need to download an MP3 file, convert that to a wave file, then I can record it? If this is the case, how do you convert the MP3 to a wave file?

You got it donmunro,
mp3's are wav files that have been converted for optimum internet transfer, while still maintaning a quality sound. When comparing an mp3 to a wav file the mp3 is about 5-10% the size of its wave counterpart, thereby allowing the enduser to download and manage the mp3 much quicker.
Since the standard for most cd's is wav files, you will have to get a mediaplayer/converter. Once the mp3 is on the harddrive you convert it to a wave. At this point you must realize that the amount of space that 1 wave file would take up on your hard drive would be something like 40-50M for a 4M mp3.

Can you suggest a media player/converter? Are there any freeware or shareware versions available? Thanks for your help.

Most tunes you download are in MP3 format. Wander over to http://www.hitsquad.com and score a mp3-wav converter. You can burn them as MP3's...but will only be able to listen on your puter.

http://musicmatch.com is probably your best bet, because you can normalize, convert wav. to MP3, play music files, record from a tape deck, or vinel, it can burn files on CD's, it has radio stations, it plays and records CD's and it has an equalizer.
