Windows 10: Windows media player not burning cds in Windows 10

Hello. About two weeks ago I built a computer from scratch with two dvd drives. I'm running Windows 10 Professional 64 bit and just discovered that while I was able to transfer all my music files from the flash drive, I cannot burn any cds with either of the two drives. I get the error message telling me to insert a blank disc in the drive and when I do so nothing happens in either drive.

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.

BURNING CDS WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER

Hi,

I appreciate your efforts.

• Are you able to play other audio/video and online audio/video with out any issues?
• Are you able to play other audio/video on Media Player without any issues?

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.
