  1. Windows Media Player will not burn CDs


    I bought a new computer a month ago. I tried to burn a CD today from Windows Media Player but it will not recognize a blank disc.


    First, I tried burning a CD using iTunes and burning a data file to CD. Both worked fine.


    Next, I looked up troubleshooting via Microsoft support. They told me to go to troubleshooting and scroll down to Windows Media Player, but Media Player does not show up.


    I tried using a different brand of cds. No change.


    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. No change.


    I tried scanning with Webroot just in case there was malware. No malware.


    What now?

  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.

    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.
