Windows 10: I have been trying to Burn a music CD .

I have been trying to Burn a music CD using a CD-R disc that I have used in the past. It tells me that I need to use a compatible disc. I have never had problems with them before. I am running Windows 10-11. Could this problem be from all of the Updates over the years?

Trying to burn CD

iTunes is not a Microsoft product and neither is VLC Player

Apple, who own iTunes, have written instructions on what you have to do:

Burning Your Music to a CD iTunes Tutorial Windows

Copy a playlist to an Audio CD by following these steps:

1. With iTunes open, insert a blank CD into your computer.
2. Select the playlist you want to copy to CD. Before burning your CD, you can rearrange the songs by dragging them to different positions.
3. At the bottom of the iTunes window, check the size of your playlist to make sure it doesn’t exceed the amount of space on a CD.
4. Click the Burn button to begin copying the songs from your computer to the CD. You can watch the progress in the iTunes window.
5. When the files are copied, a CD icon will appear in the iTunes Source list.
6. Click the Eject button to eject your CD

 

Burn Music CD

I used Windows 10 to burn about 100 songs into CD in MP3 format. After burning, I found that the CD contains 1 music folder and 1 WPL file. When I open the music folder, it contains 5 music subfolders and a listing of 90 songs. When I open the 5 music subfolders,
each subfolder contains 1, 2 or 3 songs. When I insert this CD into the MP3 player in my car, the MP3 player skips the 5 subfolders (on the top) and goes straight to play the listing of 90 songs. Is this normal with Windows 10? Is there any way I can do to
burn a music CD without containing folders? Before I upgraded to Windows 10 earlier this year, every time I burn a music CD, it contains songs only without folders.

I would very much appreciate it if any one can help me about this question.

 

Music CD Burn controls seem primitive at best ....

Hi,

I understand the inconvenience that you are facing with burning music onto a CD.

Please try the methods below and check if the issue can be fixed.

• 
  Rip (copy) the music to your hard drive.
  
  Before ripping your CD, change your burning quality to the highest quality: Click Organize, choose Options, click the Rip Music tab, and change the Format box to WAV (Lossless). Click OK.
  
• 
  Insert a blank CD into your writable CD drive.
  
• 
  In Windows Media Player's Navigation Pane, click the Music category and choose Album to see your saved CDs.
  
• 
  Right-click the newly ripped album in your library, choose Add To, and choose Burn List.
  
  If your Burn List already had some listed music, click the Clear List button to clear it; then add your CD's music to the Burn List.
  
• 
  Click the Start Burn button.
  

Now, for the fine print. Unless you change the quality to WAV (Lossless) when copying the CD to your PC, Windows Media Player compresses your songs as it saves them on your hard drive, throwing out some audio quality in the process. Burning them back to
CD won't replace that lost quality. If you want the most accurate duplicates Windows Media Player can handle, change the Ripping Format to WAV (Lossless).

If you do change the format to WAV (Lossless) in order to duplicate a CD, remember to change it back to MP3 afterward, or else your hard drive will run out of room when you begin ripping a lot of CDs.
