Windows 10: Trying to burn files to CD in windows 10 and windows media player is not cooperating

When I place a CD in the machine, the windows media player pops up automatically and I cannot use the file manager to create a burn list.

When I try to add files to the burn list in windows media player, it does not accept excel or word files, but will accept MP3 and JPG.

I have selected data disc and not audio disc, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Has anyone been successful or do I need to buy an aftermarket SW.

Disappointed that HP didn't provide any SW for this purpose.

Burning CD with Windows Media Player

Hi Carey,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I will be glad to assist you with this.

Firstly, Windows Media Player requires that content intended to be burned to discs be first stored on the computer's hard disk. Therefore, I would suggest you to copy all the songs to a folder first and then proceed to the next step.

Once that is done, I would suggest you to refer to the help article below for steps to burn the CD and check if it helps.

As I can see from the title you are using Media Player to play the CDs. Try to play from other apps available and check if it works fine.

It could be either an issue with Media Player or the way you have burned it to the CD or with the sound card.
