People can burn a CD on their personal computer with a CD/DVD drive.

Local businesses and offices

In case your personal computer does not contain a CD/DVD drive, and you fail to add an external CD burning drive to your computer, you can, on one hand, get CD burning services from local creative labs, audio digitizing, or creative studios.

In Alabama and Nord Caroline, office depot and office Max offer CD-burning services. You have to call to know that such an office offer that service,
