Why doesn't my Windows Media Player burn CD?

I tried to burn a cd from my library, and the burn button is not lit so I can burn the cd.

Hi Jody1982,

Out of curiosity, in what order you prepare the burning process?  Are you drag and drop media files to the media library?  Or maybe make a list "burn" and go from there?  In addition, you have set to autorun when a blank disc is inserted, and then launch Windows Media Center of Windows value?  Let us know the process you follow when you experience this problem, so we can watch step by step with you.

Thank you!

  • Why should I Resize Windows Media Player, whenever I open it?

    Why should I Resize Windows Media Player, whenever I open it?

    First of all, I apologize because clearly, nobody else here knows what you're feeling :)

    The problem is in fact a function: If you open a file (such as a video) directly, WMP opens directly to the ' Now Playing ' screen to display the video (the video can not be displayed in library mode where it lists all the files).  It is locked, you cannot change this behavior (because I'm sure you would agree, everyone would complain if they could not see a video playing every time they played, of course!)

    But what you can do, there's WMP to always be the size you want!

    (1) play a video in WMP.
    (2) while the video plays, click anywhere in the video and uncheck the option 'Fit Player to video'.

    WMP will attempt is no longer to adjust its size whenever a video is played.

    Why my computer says "Windows Media Player cannot read the Blue Ray Disc. The disk has been created in a way that the player does not support "?  I have Windows Media Player 12 and it comes a new movie.  I can play other discs blue ray on this computer, but not this one.  Is there an update that I'm missing or a codec I need?

    Very well played yesterday(12/10/2014), but since this morning, 12/11, it showed this message immediately or after playing a song

    Update 3024777 has been issued by MS to eliminate one who has been known to cause problems. I have not had problems with the updates myself, but I saw the notification on the bad of them here and removed immediately. While your problem is almost certainly updated related to try something else.

    Have you defeated system restore or are all the December updates back in? I get it back to day, then the next step (this applies to Armando [OP] too) is to run the W7 WMP Fix It (link1 below) tool, then the scanner SFC (link 2) - follow the directions carefully. See what comes of this. R

    Method 3: To work around the problem, go to the location of the files (usually I drag the music to a new folder on the desktop)

    Control your music (mp3s), and number them.

    Example: "stand by me" becomes "1 Stand by me" and so on.

    Make sure no randomization or random playback is set to your burning software.

    You can now move your music to the burning software or open the software and select the folder.

    That should do it. Be sure to check all the options in the burning software.

  • Organize music files in Windows Media Player after extraction.

    Whenever I ripped a cd with Windows Media Player, all the titles of the songs are all in the right order and therefore not in the right order, why? I use Windows Media Player after all to get the missing information from the album. So why do this?

    Track one becomes track 2 and 5 becomes 7 then what happens? And I tried to edit myself as well but every time I click Update album info it just messes up amel!

    Actually, it's funny how it never used to do that before.

    Hi haslam,.

    When you rip (copy) the tracks on a CD, Windows Media Player attempts to identify songs on the CD by connecting to Internet and search of the database of Windows Media, which is run by Microsoft. In most cases, the player is able to retrieve information of media of the database online and then add the information to the files Windows Media Audio (WMA) or MP3 which are created during the ripping process.

    Check the settings of the library in windows media player. Steps to follow:

    a. open Windows media player

    b. click on organize

    c. Select Options, select the Library tab

    d. under automatic updates media for files, overwrite all of the missing information, must be deselected
