Windows 10: Windows Media Player isn't burning my playlist in order in Windows 10.

When I set up a playlist on Media Player and burn it to disc, the songs are not coming out in the order I place them, and some songs are missing, even though there is room on the CD. I am a dance teacher and I burn music for my lesson plans to disc. What seems to be happening is, instead of burning the songs in the order I place them on the playlist, it orders them by track number - I mix songs from several different CDs together for a lesson plan. So if, for example, song #1 is track #12 on the original CD, it will not appear 1st on my CD; it will appear as 12th, or close to 12th if, say, f

CAN PLAYLISTS ON WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER LEGACY BE PLAYED IN ORDER I WANT?

Hello WILLIAM BOECKMAN,



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



You can of course customize the order in which media files are played in Windows Media Player Legacy. Follow these steps to create and adjust the playlist order:

1. Open Windows Media Player Legacy: Click the Start menu, then type "Windows Media Player Legacy" in the search bar, and open it.
   
2. Add media files to playlist: Drag and drop the music or video file you want to add into the player window, or use the "Add to Library" button and select the file.
   
3. Create Playlist: In the playlist pane, select "Create Playlist" and type the name you want.
   
4. Adjust play order: Drag media files into the playlist and sort them in the order you want them to play. You can drag files anywhere in the playlist to adjust the order in which they are played.
   
5. Play your playlist: Double-click the playlist name or right-click the playlist and select "Play" to play the media files in it in the order you adjusted.
   

However, since you are already using Windows11, I recommend using the new version of Media Player, because Windows Media Player Legacy is old and some features may have been replaced by more advanced Media Player.

If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

How to get songs created in a playlist to play in the order listed using Windows Media

The songs included in the playlist are taken from different albums, selected from my hard drive in the order that I wanted to play. The track number listed out of order and the songs play in a different order from the order
listed in the Playlist. The end goal is to burn a CD from the playlist in the desired order.

I hope that someone can help me. I need a disk to use in a zumba class by saturday 8-20-16

Did not have a category for windows media player
