  1. Windows 10 Windows Media Player will not burn CDs. Problem with files. Be Crazy.


    After adding songs to the burn list, inserting a blank CD, checking audio CD, and clicking Start Burn I always get an error message that says there are problems with some files. After wasting a lot of time looking for the actual problem in order to fix it, I found a workaround. A popular definition of craziness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Turns out you have to be crazy to use WMP, or just acting crazy will work. I tried clicking on OK in the error message (which makes it disappear) and then immediately clicking on Start Burn again. The error message appears again instantly and I made a game of seeing how fast I could alternately click OK and Start Burn. I didn't keep count but it took between 10 and 20 cycles before WMP surrendered and burned the CD with no more problems. I have burned 2 CDs this way since I discovered this solution and both play in all CD players I have tried. This is much, much faster that chasing imaginary problems with your files; I am sure the problem is with the WMP program. If you get this error message, try my solution.

    :)

  2. 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.

    In response to your query, please note that the track information will or will not show depending on the file or whether it is being played on a Text-enabled CD player.

    Get back to us with the result. We will be glad to help if you need further assistance.

    Windows 10, Media Player 12, Burning Audio CD "An Error Occurred" details states "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while burning the file to the disc."

    When burning an Audio CD using CD-R or CD-RW I am getting an error from windows media player 12.

    "Windows Media Player cannot burn some of the files. To investigate the problem, click the icon next to the files in the burn list."

    Software installed on system is

    • Windows 10 build 1803 (x64)
    • Media Player 12.0.17134.81
    • Nero 2018 Platinum
    Using a LG model WH16NS40 drive and Magnavox 52x 700MB 80min disc. My C: drive is a Samsung 500 GB 850 SSD that contains my library of MP3 files. My paging file is managed by the system on a RAID 0 drive D: comprised of 3 Samsung 1 TB 850
    SSD drives. Intel i7 7820X CPU and 128 Gigs of RAM.

    Steps to reproduce,

    1. Open Media player
    2. Select enough MP3's in your library to fill the disc (I was using 700 MB discs)
    3. Add them to a new bun list in Media Player
    4. Insert a CD into drive. (tried both CD-R and CD-RW with same results)
    5. From the "Burn" tab in Media Player I selected the "Start Burn" button
    6. I immediately was given an error message:
      1. "Windows Media Player cannot burn some of the files. To investigate the problem, click the icon next to the files in the burn list."
    7. Changed to optical drive letter (mine is drive EWindows 10 Windows Media Player will not burn CDs.  Problem with files. Be Crazy. :) in media player. Status in media player stated "An Error Occurred"
    8. Selected the red X next to file. It said the following:
      1. "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while burning the file to the disc."
    9. Press the "Start burn" again and now different files from the same list are causing the error. Never gets to processing the files for the burn
    10. Keep pressing "Start Burn" until it works and no errors are reported. No changes of the audio files just clicked the "Start Burn" button.
    Burn options in Media player are:

    • General
      • Burn Speed - Slow
    • Audio CDs
      • Apply volume leveling across tracks - CHECKED
      • Burn CD without gaps - CHECKED
    • Data Discs
      • Add a list of all burned files to the disk in this format: - M3U
      • Use media information to arrange files in folders on the disc - CHECKED

    I have a video of the this process to back up what I'm reporting


    The problem is when I have a large selection of files I want to burn to multiple Audio discs, I have to "baby sit" the process and only process enough files to fill one disc (multiple discs won't retry just moves onto the next set of files). A burn of multiple
    discs is a nightmare using Windows Media player and is as pleasant as backing up a 1 TB drive to floppies.

    I've seen other posts about un-installing media player (did that), defrag the hard drive (SSD try again), Clean the CD lens, CD's are old technology (really!!!, an excuse I seen on this forum from another user). Windows Media Player won't burn CDs

    Please fix Media Player so it won't error out on files that are obviously not the problem. I've been using Media Player since version 10. I've tried others and they either focus on doing too much, poorly or don't have this ability to burn a playlist as
    easily at Media Player.

    "Windows media player cannot burn some of the files. To investigate the problem, click the icon next to the files in burn list" error message on burning the CD in Windows Media Player on Windows 10.

    Hi Bridget,



    The above issue might have occurred due to some of the corrupted/missing files present while burning the CD.



    Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

    • Are the files protected?
    • Do you see any mark on the files you are trying to burn?


    Follow the steps below to delete the corrupted/missing files while burning the CD and check if the issue is resolved.



    • Open Windows Media Player, copy the files you want to burn and click
      Start burn option.
    • When the error message “Windows Media Player cannot burn some of the files. Ti investigate the problem, click the icon next to the files in burn list” appears, click on
      OK.
    • From the left hand side of the window, click on Blank Disk. The files you are trying to burn should appear. One or more files should have a while
      X in a red circle to its left, these are the files that will not burn to the CD/DVD.
    • Remove the files with the icon and the burn should work.
