Other file selection notes:
The program will not let you choose too many files (total size larger than the CD).
You can select entire folders, or click in the folder for specific files.
You can highlight a group of files to save, or you can hold the CTRL key and click on various files to save.
Leave a little extra room on the CD – don’t try to fill it completely. (Make sure you know the CD capacity.)
Blank CDs are inexpensive. Don’t worry about trying to add files to a used CD – just use a new one.
There are CDRW disks (re-writeable), but they are slower to save, and may not hold data as reliably.

Final Notes:
Check your new CD to make sure that your files are there and accessible.
Occasionally a CD recording fails – sometimes at the very end of the procedure. That CD is probably no longer useable. You will have to try again, and may have to use a different CD brand or capacity.
You can write on the CD (label side) using a permanent marker. You should date your CD and indicate contents. For detailed content listing, use a CD case and label.
