want to burn cds??

Question

im only new at this, so i mite sound stupid but i download them to windows media player and it says burnt and complete, when i try to listen to the cd it doesnt work on a normal cd player only on the computer, please help thank u

Answer 1

Yes, your software has converted the CD tracks to WMA or MP3 files. They won't play on your CD player until you make a normal audio CD.

Answer 2

OK. I'm not sure what you're doing exactly, but it sounds to me like you're burning the files in mp3 format, and your cd player can't read mp3. You need to burn an audio cd, not mp3. Your computer is able to read mp3 files that's why it works on there. Also what type of blank cds did you use. If you happened to use a CD-RW (rewriteable cd) then your normal cd player would have to be able to handle those types of discs. If it can't then you won't be able to play it on that, only on your computer.

Answer 3

The file type of the music might be in MP3 format, which will not work on just any ordinary CD player. You need an MP3 player to listen to those CDs.

Answer 4

Change the setting on your media player to No Protection then you should be able to listen to them on any compatible Player. Click on the help tab and it will tell you how to do it.

Burning your own CDs
With Windows Media Player, you can burn your own audio CDs or data CDs from the digital media files stored in your library. Live streams, such as radio stations, cannot be burned to CDs.

You can use the Player to burn the following types of CDs:

Audio CD. Burn music CDs similar to those that you buy. The Player converts tracks from the music playlists in your library into .cda files, and then burns them to the compact disc. Audio CDs can be played in most computers and in home and car CD players that play CD-R and CD-RW discs. You can burn an audio CD from the following file types stored in your library:

Windows Media Audio (WMA) files with a .wma extension
.mp3 files
.wav files
Data CD. Burn CDs to back up the digital media files and playlists in your library for safe storage. You can also burn tracks from the music playlists in your library to create a data CD that can contain more than eight hours of music, depending upon the quality level (bit rate) used to burn the files and the file types. Only certain CD players and computers can play these data CDs (also known as media CDs).
HighMAT Audio . Burn another type of data CD that plays only in CD players that can play Windows Media Audio (WMA) files. Files are converted into WMA files, which are smaller than .mp3 files. Only certain portable CD players can play Windows Media Audio files. For more information about HighMAT, see the Microsoft Web site.
To burn a CD, you must have a CD burner attached to your computer and a blank CD to which you can burn tracks.

Answer 5

I thought that said bum cds. I thought "hows that going to work". Then I thought "Oh, burn"
Try Nero. You're probably burning MP3 or WMA; they need converted by the software to uncompressed format.
Nero or similar can do that, then it'll burn as an ordinary audio cd.

Answer 6

A good thing to try is a free software burner like Nero or even itunes as Windows, for me anyway, has been very slow and unreliable

Answer 7

All you do aisling_nestor light a fire and drop them CD's in and BINGO you have burn your CD's.Sorry mate

Get hold of NERO and you be on your way burning CD's n DVD's

Answer 8

you may be burning a data cd, instead burn an audio cd

Answer 9

sounds like your cd player will not paly MP3 format.
You will have to convert them or tell it to write them as WAV files.

Answer 10

what you want to use is NERO.
A little bit tricky to use but always get the results you want because it give you all the opions. try it and see.
Personally I dont use anything else.
