Windows 10: Burning songs to CD

I guess this is applicable under this topic, since Microsoft seems to list really vague topics now. I want to burn music files to a CD yes, I still use CDs, I'm a dinosaur, sue me, I want them in a particular order, but no matter what I try - burning with Media Player Legacy or with File Explorer - the tracks always wind up on the CD in alphabetical order rather than the order I want them in. I've gone into the properties for each file to assign track numbers, I've gone into the metadata with an audio editor Audacity to assign the track files, and every time they are burned to the CDs in

Cannot burn songs to CD inserted already on to computer Error: insert a blank cd

Hi

In order to understand the issue in a better manner, please share the following details.

• 
  Are you trying to Burn Music on to the DVD inserted?
  
• 
  “Only 5 songs on the cd” is it a Read/ Write disk or a Normal disk (copy write CD)?
  

Let me inform you, if you have a Normal disk with 5songs burnt and saved you will not be able to Burn the new songs again. Until and unless the disk inserted is a Read/ Write CD.

Put an empty disk in the drive open my computer and double click on the CD inserted. And check for the status of the CD, if its CD/DVD-RW drive, if any files appear in explorer greyed out then delete them by clicking "Delete these temporary files".

I suggest you to follow the below steps to fix the issue.

Method 1: if you are trying to copy the songs to CD, follow the below steps.

If the CD is copy right protected. You will not be able to copy songs to the computer if the CD is copy right protected.

Also try to clear the burn list if any old list of songs available and try to copy again and see if it helps.

Method 2: Windows media player settings troubleshooter

Also try the Windows media player settings troubleshooter and see if it helps to resolve the issue.

no song titles on burned cd

HI Jaja,

Are you burning your discs as data or music discs? If you burn it as a music disc, you will get no song title but you will be able to play the music in any CD player. If you burn it as a data disc (and the songs are in *.mp3 format) you will get the song titles burned on the disc as well. The only problem with that is that the cd will only play in players that will play the *.mp3 format.

Hope that helps!
