Until recently, CD recording had been a professional's pursuit.
However, as CD recorder prices have plummeted, CD-R media prices
reached dirt-cheap prices, and CD-R software becomes easy to
use, anyone can produce CDs. Much of the activity is directed
towards audio recording (See
Tutorial – Digital Audio) but the
inherent usefulness of CD-R applies to a wide range of
applications.
This is a general Tutorial for making any CD.
CD Creation Software
The most popular software for creating CDs are:

WavePad Sound Editor Software
Professional audio editing software for PC & Mac
This sound editing
software is a full featured professional audio and music editor
for Windows and Mac OS X. It lets you record and edit music,
voice and other audio recordings. When editing audio files you
can cut, copy and paste parts of recordings then add effects
like echo, amplification and noise reduction. WavePad works as a
wav or mp3 editor but it also supports a number of other file
formats including vox, gsm, wma, real audio, au, aif, flac, ogg
and more.
File naming
Naming files is an important part of making a CD. If you
don’t use accepted conventions, you will be stuck with names
that look like "Progra~1." There are
two conventions and
you will need to set your software to one convention or the
other:
Not all CDs can be read by all operating systems. Much
depends on the file system and naming convention used to create
the CD. This becomes very important if the CD is to be read by
more than one operating system. For more.
Sessions
CD-Rs are written in single operation (called a session). You
can interrupt your write session and add more later but you
cannot use the disc until it is complete. A CD that
allows multiple write sessions is called a multi-session.
