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.

Does that do what you required?

Note ( also from the above link ): - "Unfortunately, neither Windows Media Player nor Windows 10 offer a Duplicate CD option. Instead, you must jump through the following five hoops to create a new CD with the same songs in the same fidelity as the original
