I have some music we recorded on a voice recorder. How can I transfer that to a cd to give to my sisters? I do not have a desktop any more, I use a chrome-book, which does not have a cd drive.

I appreciate any advice, I not not very good at techie stuff. I asked the ups store if they could do it & they said no.

Your welcome. No CD player can be a hassle for sure. I had to buy an external DVD for my new laptop. The price we pay for smaller and smaller computers.

I think another question worth asking is, do you really need to give the file to these relatives as a CD?
If you can get the sound files on your computer, you could buy a 1GB flash drive for $2 and give it to your sisters on the flashdrive. I suspect that will be cheaper and quicker than having a tech shop do it.

Or if you aren't concerned about physically handing it to them, you could even just email the files.

If you have a relative who's half decent with computers, you could also ask if they can burn a disc on their computer as well.

i sometimes text flac or mp3 files to my friends if they are small enough.

if you are trying to be retro, do you have an older tape recorder. i used to make mixtapes to pass out.
