Burning MP3 files to a DVD.

If you want to store or transport a bunch of MP3 files on a DVD how do you do it?

Surreal:

A DVD with MP3 files is simply a data DVD. So insert a blank DVD, start up your burning program and choose data DVD, then queue up your files and burn away.

That is such a simple question that I am probably not understanding it correctly. If you have mp3's on you hard drive you would burn them to DVD as you would any other file. What program do you use to burn DVDs?

Incidentally, a data DVD with MP3s, JPGs and MPEGs will be playable on a lot of set-top DVD players. Your MPEG mileage may vary.

Well, when I've tried it before I can't seem to get past the point that the burner software was looking for DVD files.
I'll try something else, I don't know what the heck I'm doing sometimes

I guess the iTunes burner won't work, I'll try something free

Try Deepburner. There is a free version which should do you fine.

iTunes will only burn music discs, not data. Nor will you be able to burn your iTunes MP3 files onto a CD or DVD (due to DRM). You can only do this with DRM-free MP3 files.

But if you can burn your M4A file to a CD why not a DVD?
