Windows Media Player CD compatibility with different CD players?
478514
If the media you are using works fine when you burn from a different program, such as Nero or Roxio, it's possible that Windows Media Player isn't burning your discs properly.  Windows Media Player is one of the least compatible programs I have seen as far as burning Audio CDs.  If you have Nero or Roxio, I recommend using one of those programs to burn your Audio CDs.  (Nero or Roxio normally come with your computer if it is equipped with a burner or with the burner if you buy it retail.)  If you don't have Nero or Roxio, it may be worth the investment.  \n\nBut before you purchase any software, take a blank disc to a friend's house and see if their computer will burn a disc that is compatible with the player in question.  If it will, then it's likely your software.

This is a very simple process.  Go to google and search "sound file converter".  There is a great amount of free programs designed for just his purpose.  I will give you a recommendation on a program once I find one, okay?  Please refrain from downloading until then.\n\nOn a different note, are you wanting to transfer them from the CD to the computer?  If so, email me and tell me what version of Windows Media Player you are running.

Do you need to convert the mp3 files to CDA files for a music cd.\n\nUse Nero for this...

Unfortuantly media player is quite tightly tied into Windows.\n\nIf upgrading / downgrading / uninstalling / reinstalling doesn't work then you only have one choice...\n\nReinstall the OS.\n\nI had a very similar problem, and that was the only way to resolve the issue.\n\nAlternativly you could switch to RealPlayer which will play all the same formats and more.

Well the first guy isnt to bright, there is no cd+r only cd-r ... you are thinking of blank dvds. But yes if it is old it may not be capable of playing a recorded cd. Make sure you are burning it as an audio cd because unless you have a very new cd player it will not play Windows Media Format, if thats not the case follow these steps.\n\n1) Try a different burning software ... I dont like windows Media Player for burning, I use Nero Burning Rom\n\n2) Try Different Media (A Different brand, some burners dont like certain brands of cds)\n\n3) Check that all the required system files are there, this can be done using Nero Drive Test.\n\n4) Run a drive test to see if it is performing properly (These can normally be downloaded from the manufacturers website) If it fails return it to the store.\n\nI mentioned Nero Burning Rom above, get it from www.nero.com

Windows provides generic drivers from its database to get your CDRW working. If you need burning software, then either use the burning software built into XP which is a load of crap, or get Nero which will cost you money.

Maybe the audio file isnt burnt properly to the CD's or\nbetter check up the CD player specification itself,\nas a matter of fact, some old CD player cant play a CD-R, CD-RW format.

Hi Beautiful,\nOnly if you are using a CD RW and a burner that is capable of it. \nYou have to go through a process called finalizing so as to use a CD-RW on player that you did not burn the CD from and you have to unfinalize the CD to rewrite it.

Just use a cd-rw.  That's it.  good fun :-)

You add the songs to windows media player, The you make a playlist and click copy to CD or device,insert the blank disc and click copy. Works good enough for me.

i know a way around.  you could burn the wma files on a cd as music cd and then rip the cd using windows media player in mp3 format.

Don't use "Windows media player"! I use "Nero" to burn my MP3 cd's.

Some stereo will not play CD-RW. This is just as they were not designed with this in mind. Try a normal CD-R\n\nOtherwise you may be burning it wrong. make sure you are choosing an audio CD not and MP£ or WMA CD.

When burning to CD it depends on whether you want the CD to play on a normal CD Player. If yes then choose audio CD (.iso) if not the best format is probably .mp3 as it is more compatible and is relatively small is size compared to filetypes such as .wav. Another alternative to consider is .wma. Only choose this if the player/computer you wish to play the music on is compatible (most pc's will have the software).\n\nGood Luck with this. \n\n - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - \nwww.3doms.com \nTechSupport@3doms.com (free)\n - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Yes.  I know of no DVD Burner which cannot burn the CD-R standard. In theory, your burning software should be able to tell you if you can't.  With Nero, you get to select what kind of project you can make CD/DVD and what device you can use.  If you don't have Nero, Windows Media player has the ability to burn CDs from audio tracks.  Just assemble a CD and try and use the burn feature, if it prompts you to insert a cd (and you don't have to, you can cancel out of it), then I'd be 99.99% certain that you can burn a CD with your drive.
