How to Copy Audio Cd to Cd in Windows 7

How to copy a CD to another CD with only 1 drive (7 easy ways)

This tutorial will show you step by step how to copy a CD to another blank CD on a PC with only one drive.

Copying CDs

If you don't want to risk damaging your favorite CDs, then it's a good idea to make copies of them, store the originals in cases and only use the copies.

In order to duplicate a CD, you'll need a computer with a CD burner drive and a blank CD.

Tip: If you want to copy an audio CD, then use a blank CD-R and not CD-RW, because not all CD players and car stereos can play rewritable CDs properly – even when burned in the correct audio format.

Most desktop computers and especially laptops have only one CD burner drive, so that's why the tutorials on this page are for copying CDs on PCs with only one CD burner drive.
