Disc burning allows users to place their own files and folders onto CDs and DVDs that can be later played on other computers.
Usually, CD burners require a blank disc to be inserted and used for creating new projects.
Some applications support multi-sessions which will allow users to add data to a CD previously created.
Nowadays, comprehensive CD burners also allow creation of an autorun installer that will automatically start playing when the CD is inserted in the CD-ROM and will display the contents of the disc.
