Can't burn a music cd

I'm trying to burn a cd of songs that I have in my Windows Media Player library.  I inserted a CD - R Memorex and AutoPlay appears showing that it is a blank disc.  In Windows Media Player, it shows the CD drive (d :)) Audio CD 79:57 remaining. I dragged my songs in the burn list, but the "Start burn" button will not let me select it. When I go into 'my computer' it shows as a DVD RW drive (d :)) with 702 MB 702 MB of free space.  Do I need to use another type of disk because it is a DVD RW drive or is there another reason, that it wont let me burn to the disc?

When the Autorun screen appears, close up there.

What you have said seems correct... and not...
I don't think that you need a different type of CD.

Perhaps some or all of your files are protected. Glance

    You can't burn Apple music on a CD - R because of the DRM. Unlike the securities purchased, you are only renting the music while you have an active subscription to Apple's music.

  • When I try to burn a music disc player is registered as a DATA reader and does not allow me to copy music files that I can play on an external source

    I have computer aGateway running Vista Home Edition and something happened with WIndows Media Player.   I have the DVD/RW internal drive and external DVD/RW as a player.  I use them mainly to copy music files and it has always worked fine until yesterday.

    When I try to burn a music disc, the player is registered as a DATA reader and does not allow me to copy music files that I can play on an external source (such as the CD or car drive).  Worked fine Saturday and had burned discs Saturday night recognizes the two drives as data drives.

    Is it something that needs to be reset or changed?

    In WMP, please click the button burn up and make sure that the Audio CD is selected. Then try burning the CD again, they now play on a standalone CD player too.

  • Can't burn a cd. The music is not recognized.

    I can't burn an audio cd. The Player recognizes my blank cd, and it says I have 79:57 minutes to burn. But when I add music to the burn list, I always 79:57 free minutes. The music is in the burn list, but I can't start a burn because the music is not recognized. Can someone respond to this please?

    I don't know what I did, but as soon as I played the music button "Start burn" is now available. I didn't understand why the music was not recognized in the burn list because yesterday I did the same thing and I had no problem, but knowing that everything is the same. The music was compatible and the burner has not been damaged, so I guess it was just a temporary system problem. Thanks for answer and sorry for wasting your time :)

  • can't burn the CD w / WinMediaPlayer 11 more?

    I have windows media player 11 on windows XP. I was able to "burn" the many CDs in the past. Now I can listen to mp3 music, that I have loaded on it, but can "burn" a copy on a CD, same with music, I 'burned' before. X red lights next to each song and said that there is error COOD - 11 7 or COOD-BC2. I found and would be dl and installed: MicrosoftFixit.wu. ; K Lite_Codec_Pack_790_Basic; XP_Codec - Pack_2.5.1; Media.Player. codec. Pack.v4.1.1. I have restart fterwards, none of them doesn't seem to help. Is there a newer package of codec I need? What I am doing wrong?
    a replay has said:
    Check the box of dl auto in the drive, I did and said to uninstall and reinstall the whole program.
    Since then:
    I've tried everything you suggested. It still won't burn anything, including files, that I had already burned before last month.
    I recently had this problem in the past, and control the "dl codecs auto box" worked. I tried to remove the version of WMP 11, I, but he says that the uninstall file is missing, then it would not. I did dl and re - install a new copy of it that you have linked to me, but he did not have anything else. I tried to uninstall the new version and re - install, but this message still lights. so no still no luck. y at - it a new package of codecs, I should be dl'g?
    is this really MS trying to force people to upgrade to Windows 7?

    Hi thanks for trying to help me. last night, I installed media.player. codec. Pack.v4.1.1. I had dl would be, but I forgot to install w / all the others I've tried. KLite Pack just send me to his Web site.
    I then restarted the computer and it works now! I was able to burn a CD at last.

    I'm saving your message for future use. This has happened before, it will probably once again that the new codecs are needed.

    BTW, the length of the music files was projected on WMP, and he told me that if all the "burn file" was going to put it on CD 1 or not.

    Thanks again.

  • can't burn the CD to iTunes 9.1 on Windows 7

    I can't burn a CD from my library of iTunes songs.  When I try, I get a dialog box 'the drive to record not found '.  I also received a message that says "registry settings used by iTunes for the importers pilots and burning CDs and DVDs or missing (However, I can import songs into iTunes from a CD, but just can't burn it to a CD.).  Please reinstall iTunes.  When I run the Diagnostics CD Drive Test iTunes it says it's 'no disk in the lower filters, no disc in the upper filters '.  I am able to burn CDs with Windows Media Player, so I think the problem is with iTunes and not my computer.

    I re-downloaded iTunes several times, but this has not cured the problem. Now I would try to uninstall iTunes and then reinstalling iTunes... but I'm afraid that I might lose all my itunes Store purchased music if I uninstall itunes.  Am I wrong?

    Help!  Thank you.

    Hey John,

    GEAR licenses this is CD/DVD recording 'engine' for Apple computers for use in iTunes for Windows. This recording 'engine' is the code of the software which adds disk recording cababilities to their product.

    If you encounter registration problems, they can be linked to drivers GEAR being damaged or improperly installed. You can download the latest drivers of VEHICLES or better yet, make sure they are installed correctly. The following control for Windows x 86 guide/list will help you determine if they are installed correctly. In the first test, make sure that C:\windows\system32\gearaspi.dll is in the Windows\System32 directory. Simply copy and paste the driver in the Windows\system32 directory.

    To check that all drivers of GEARAspi is installed correctly please check the following points:

    On 32-bit systems, make sure that:

    * C:\windows\system32\gearaspi.dll is located in the Windows\System32 directory
    * GearAspiWDM.sys is located in the Windows\System32\Drivers directory

    On 64 - bit systems, verify that:

    * C:\windows\system32\gearaspi.dll (32-bit version) is in the Window\SysWOW64 directory
    * GEARAspi64.dll (64-bit version) is located in the Windows\System32 directory
    * GearAspiWDM.sys (64-bit version) is located in the Windows\System32\Drivers directory
     
    Next:

    In the Device Manager (Manager button on the Hardware tab in the Start Menu |) Settings | Control Panel | System) double click on DVD/CD-ROM drive drives entry. Double click on one of the listed CD/DVD recorders and go to the tab drivers press the Details of drivers and make sure GEARAspiWDM.sys is listed in the driver files and the digital signer is Microsoft Windows hardware compatibility. On the Details tab, select the upper filters of class of the pull down and make sure that GEARAspiWDM is listed.
     
    In system information (type msinfo32.exe in Start Menu |) Run...) Verify that there is an entry called gearaspiwdm in software environment. System drivers. The status of the driver should be OK, and it should be started.

  • I have only 300 GB, I discovered that 32 of the tokk games up to 3.32 GB. Can I burn it to a DVD and use them like that?

    I have only 300 GB, like I had more but don't know how to do in this regard. I win a lot of Bigfish games, I discovered that 32 of the tokk games up to 3.32 GB. I have more than a hundred of their games I bought so I hate to remove them. Can I burn it to a DVD and use them like that?

    I may be possible. There are several factors that can stop the games run from a DVD.
    A better option for success would be to use a USB stick, but I'll be referring to DVD.
    The kind of games that you download big fish are more likely to be able to run from a DVD a lot of games. The best way to know is to burn on a DVD, but the process will be a little tricky when you burn the game to the DVD it will change the installation path (from C:\ to the drive letter of your DVD eg - E:\).
    You can try the following-
    -Copy the folder of games on DVD

    -Rename the folder the game is installed on the HARD drive. Just add a few letters before the name of the game, for example, Bejeweled to aaa Bejeweled.
    If the experiment fails, simply remove you the extra letters and plays the game.
    (a) - If you do this, you go back to the original name to uninstall the game if you want to later, and the Launcher of Big Fish (or what is called the Big Fish program) may have a problem when you rename the Games folder as well, so don't try to run the game from the Big Fish app to use a shortcut.

    -Make a new shortcut to the games .exe in the folder that you copied to the DVD. and see if the game will be launched from there.
    (a) you must always change the path on the new shortcut if it still reads
    the original location of the game is installed.
    To do this, you change the drive letter in the properties (R\Click on the shortcut)
    in the original example - C:\.  There are two places you need to do this-
    'Target' and ' start in '. If the name of the games is long, it may be easier to copy the
    'Target' in Notepad to reveal the path drive. You can change the path of the reader here and then copy and passed to the 'target' box in the properties of the shortcut.
    Do the same with "start in" if necessary.

    If you have a lot of video or music, then they would be more suitable for playing from a DVD.
    If you are running low on HARD disk space the best option is to install a second drive HARD a 500 GB HARD disk is cheap, better value for money than a USB key and easy to install.  There are many tutorials on the i-net for installation
    a HARD drive.
