What if the songs on the playlist don't get burned onto the disk in the right order?

Community Answer

You will have to start all over with a new CD. This rarely happens, however.

Question

What if my laptop doesn't have a CD drive?

Community Answer

You can buy a USB CD reader from Amazon, or most likely any electronics store. It attaches to your computer with a USB cable.

Question

Can I upload it to YouTube or sell it on eBay if it contains music from third parties?

Community Answer

You could definitely get sued if you're making a profit from other people's music, i.e. selling a mix CD on eBay. You should be fine uploading to YouTube, but you should link to the original songs in the description.

Question

What if I only want bits of the song on the CD?

Community Answer

You can use a song cutter app that can cut the songs to your needs. You can get them free online.

Question

My car's CD player lists and plays the songs in my CD mix in alphabetical order, and wont play them in the original order, as they are on the disc. How can I overcome this?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, this may not be fixable in your case. However, there may be some way to change the setting for your car. I would recommend fumbling with the settings, and if all else fails, go to a professional or contact your dealership.

Question

Am I legally permitted under UK law to create a CD mix as a gift for a friend or family member, given that I own a copy of the music but not the distribution rights?

Community Answer

Under UK law, creating a CD mix for personal use or as a gift for a friend or family member from music you own is generally considered acceptable. However, you must not sell or profit from the mix, as distributing copyrighted material for commercial gain is illegal and could result in legal action.
