Windows 10: Burning a CD in Windows 10

In 2020, can you burn a CD in Windows 10?

All the posts about this I have seen are quite old.

I have tried burning MP3 music to a CD in Windows Media Player. It goes through all the motions and looks like it is working, but there is never any music on the CD at the end.

I have seen instructions to burn a CD straight from your from Windows 10 music files. They tell you to right click on the music file, then click on the "send" button and choose either DVD or CD. But my menu options for "send" do not include either of those choices.

Anyone have any advise?

Thanks - Suzie
