Windows 10: my play speed function in player is greyed out , so i cant regulate speed of cd playing...

speed function in media player , old version , not present for audio cds ... how to fix please ?thanksed

:)

 

After burning music in Windows Media Player to a CD, when I play the CD back, it plays in a slower speed than it should?

I have played the CD in several different players (car, home) with the same results. It plays at a slower speed. I have also burned on different CD's with the same result. This leads me to think that the problem is with the recording process, not the playing
process, yet I have no idea how to fix it. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Windows Media Player won't play CDs

Hello DominicGerald,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To address your concern, kindly help us with the following queries:

1. Are you receiving any error code or error message when you attempt to play the music?
   
2. Is your music CD being detected by the system and are you able to access it through the File Explorer (Windows + E key)?
   

In Windows Media Player, you can play audio CDs, data CDs, and data DVDs that contain music or video files (also known as media CDs). If you have a DVD drive and a compatible DVD decoder installed on your computer, you can use Windows Media Player
to play a DVD-Video disc. If your unable to play anything on WMP, kindly check with the steps listed below and see if it works:

Method 1: Update DVD/CD ROM driver from Device Manager.

Sometimes, the issue persists if the drivers aren’t updated. So, I would suggest you to update the DVD/Cd driver manually. To do that, you may refer the article on

Update drivers in Windows 10.

Once after updating the drivers, you may check if you are able to play songs. If not, you may try out the following method.

Method 2: Adjust Burn Settings.


As you say that it’s getting stuck while burning a CD, you might want to check with the burn speed. To do that,

• Open Windows Media Player from the Start menu.
  
• Click on Organize and select
  Options from the list.
  
• Select the Burn tab in the Options window and select the drop-down menu beside
  Burn speed and select Slow.
  
• Click on Apply and OK
  to exit the settings screen.
  
• Try burning a new CD and check if it plays.
  

Method 3: Download and install add-ons for Windows Media Player.

I would suggest you to get the add-ons for your player and check if you are able to play songs. To do the same, you may want to refer to an article on
Downloads for Windows.


Kindly get back to us with the results. We will be glad to assist you further if the issue persists.

Regards,
