.wav files won't burn to CD

I desperately need to copy some .wav files (my own compositions - my own copyright) to an audio CD - but I keep getting the message "Windows Media Player has encountered an error on the portable device". What "portable device"? Further enquiries reveal "The portable device does not support this function, or is not turned on, or is full". (?)
We've tried on three PCs and a laptop - could it be the cheap Tesco CDs we're trying to use? It doesn't seem to get that far though. They all say the same thing.
Any ideas?
(The crazy thing is that we've done this before but can't remember how)
