This one took me a little while to figure out, so I thought I’d share my steps with you:

1) Open ImgBurn and select “Write image file to disc” (or choose “Write” from the Mode menu)

Step 1

2) Click the CD with a music note button (Create CD CUE file)

Step 2

3) Click the top button on the right (Find Files)

Step 3

4) Once you’ve added your files, you can choose the tagging/gap preferences

Step 4

5) Then, click OK, and you can burn the compilation from here.

Step 5

You should be able to burn any audio format supported by DirectShow; if you need M4a/AAC support, you’ll have to download a plugin, such as the one below:

And…you can find the official instructions from the ImgBurn forums here:

This is a really good read…

I would like to tell you that I was down but not out. That I just brushed myself off and got on with life. I didn’t. At first, I kept myself hyper-busy. That lasted for about three months. Then, I sank into a depression. I’m sure I was in shock for a long time. It was a very dark, confused time in my life. I kept pushing myself to get back to normal. That didn’t happen. I never got back to myself. I became better than I was.
