Windows 10: Windows Media Player won't burn my CD even though nothing seems to be wrong with it

I had previously burned a CD on my Lenovo laptop using the Windows Media Player and everything worked fine, but I am trying to burn another one and it isn't working. I believe I followed the same steps that I used the first time so I'm not sure what the issue is. I keep getting this message when I try to complete a burn.There didn't seem to be any other task that was being done by the burner but I guess it could be a connectivity issue then?I've tried deleting files waiting to be burned but there was nothing in the folder, I've deleted the MP3s I wanted to burn and redownloaded them, I've unin

trouble burning cd in windows media player

What is the Make & Model # of the computer, and CD/DVD-RW drive? What brand of blank CD-R are you using? Or are you using an RW disc? As stated, RW discs take extra steps to use and not recommended for Audio CD's.

Not every brand of disc works with every brand of drive. As stated, use only Name Brand Blank CD-R's
You can update the Firmware for the burner drive from the manufacture to allow it to support different brands of Blanks.

Verify in the Burning App that the Recorder is supported and lists the drive in the app as the recorder.
With a blank CD-R disc in, open a burning program like CD BurnerXP, or any other burning app
Go to the top toolbar to Recorder, confirm the Drive is listed which means that drive is supported. If so, then go to Disc/Disc Information on the Toolbar to make sure this disc is showing as Blank and ready to be burned. Remember if you have a failed burn on a disc, throw it away, it cannot be used again, unless it is an RW disc

We don't suggest it for burning CD's but if you are more comfortable with WiMP then follow these steps to Enable it https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/...3-94596b658287

Or reinstall it https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...3-1d8ec121b5b8

 

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.
