Help burning a cd on windows media player..

gabyjane

Right i am trying to burn some music from my media player to a cd..it comes up with:

Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you are trying to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the item might point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.

It seems to burn some songs and not others..the cd works on my pc but not in my car?!

Any ideas what im doing wring and a dumb guide on how to do it?
Thanks x

The glib answer is "What you're doing wrong is using WMP"

Anyhow...

Which version of Windows and WMP are you using?

Is your library up-to-date (are you trying to include a song which you've deleted/moved/renamed)?

Have you ever played CD-Rs in your car? Some players just don't like them.

One thing to check is what it is actually burning to CD, as there are two methods:
1. The traditional music CD, like you would buy from a shop, which will play in most things.
2. An mp3 CD, which is more like a data CD. You can get a lot more mp3 files on a CD than the other way, but the playback device has to be mp3 compatible, and a lot of car stereo's aren't
