Is it free? Also I'm not very computer suave...... so what is a torrent?
yes it is free... and im sure someone else can teach you how to use it better than me but im me at adawgbro9443 and i will point you in the right direction
Hey, I just use the built in windows software. All you have to do is drag all your mp3 files onto the folder and hit "write files now". It writes it as a data file and does not finalize it. You can add new songs to your already burned cd until it is completely full. To make folders on the mp3 cd, you just right click and hit new folder. It is a very simple process. PM me if you would like more help. Or if you still want to use nero, just write a data cd.

Also, does it have to be a CD-RW or will a CD-R work?
Nero has a trial version, yes. Use that and see if you are able to do it. If you wanna keep Nero, buy it after the trial is up, or find a way of acquiring it illegally, as mentioned with the use of "torrents" (e.g., distributed downloading).
I've been using Nero ever since I had a burner (I've had four thus far), so Nero does get the job done.
I wouldn't look into Winamp or WM player as a solution for burning MP3 CDs, as they're only media players. That may seem odd, as MP3 is a form of media, but an MP3 CD is no different than a CD with "files" on it.
For most users, there are two types of CDs you can make: an audio CD (e.g., playable in any CD player) and a data CD (e.g., there's files on the CD, accessible like a file on your hard drive, for example). When you make an audio CD from a collection of MP3s, the burning program converts the MP3 into a mode readable by standard CD players. When you make an MP3 CD, the burning program does not make any conversions & just throws the file on the CD; it's up to the CD drive/host to be able to decode what's in the files.
As far as if a CD-R or a CD-RW will work, yes you can make an MP3 CD that is either on a recordable or rewritable disc. However, the total workability depends on three factors: 1) Can your burner burn to CD-RWs (most burners on the market do), 2) Can the end-user's CD drive read CD-Rs, and 3) Can the end-user's CD drive read CD-RWs? Also, some people have claimed that the actual media brand also plays a role, however I have not had any instances of not being able to use one particular brand.
So, in conclusion, just download nero.

More recent versions of WMP do have a burning utility built into them...
Having said that I would still go with Nero. Like sumone I've been using Nero since I had a burner and out of all the others I have tried (Roxio, Easy CD, Windows inbuilt burning utility, etc) I keep comng back to Nero. To me it is the most stable and most user friendly of what's available. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I'm aware of that, but I was talking about not using it to make data CDs.
