How to burn music CDs from online sources?

I was using aPowersoft streaming audio recorder in evaluation mode for a while and recorded many CDs from youtube videos that I converted into MP3. Then it stopped working and their tech support could not get it working again. Then I was told if I bought their software for $79.95 for a lifetime license, they could get it to work for me so I did but they could not get it to working for me again so I asked for a refund.

Can you tell me if iTunes or amazon have a thing for about $10 a month that I can DL and burn music to my own CDs with?

I had many saved albums to MP3 in my Windows Media Player but they refused to burn to CD so I had to delete them.

BTW, I run a Dell PC with Windows 7.

Thank you.

OK thanks. I tried amazon for free, it's nothing I like very much. It's $10 a month but youu have to buy any music yo download.
No surprise there I guess.

Online sources, as in, streaming audio?

You'd need some software to record the streaming audio first... If you are looking to record a popular source (Youtube) there may be a number of websites that offer streaming-to-mp3 conversion free.
For any streaming source, you can also use any sound recorder software on your PC, one of the most widely used free ones being "Audacity" --> http://www.audacityteam.org/
There is a bit of a learning curve to it, however, you can't beat the price and functionality IMHO. May be a bit much for simple recording needs, I don't know.

Once you have them recorded on your machine, it should be an easy task to burn them to a CD as well, even Windows Media Player can do it.
