trouble burning cd in windows media player

What is the Make & Model # of the computer, and CD/DVD-RW drive? What brand of blank CD-R are you using? Or are you using an RW disc? As stated, RW discs take extra steps to use and not recommended for Audio CD's. Not every brand of disc works with every brand of drive. As stated, use only Name Brand Blank CD-R's You can update the Firmware for the burner drive from the manufacture to allow it to support different brands of Blanks. Verify in the Burning App that the Recorder is supported and lists the drive in the app as the recorder. With a blank CD-R disc in, open a burning program like CD BurnerXP, or any other burning app Go to the top toolbar to Recorder, confirm the Drive is listed which means that drive is supported. If so, then go to Disc/Disc Information on the Toolbar to make sure this disc is showing as Blank and ready to be burned. Remember if you have a failed burn on a disc, throw it away, it cannot be used again, unless it is an RW disc We don't suggest it for burning CD's but if you are more comfortable with WiMP then follow these steps to Enable it https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/...3-94596b658287 Or reinstall it https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...3-1d8ec121b5b8
