Help, I am stuck on “To add songs to your Burn List, locate them in your Library.”
I don’t use the Library; I have music, video, etc, it another location.
How can I opt to locate add items from a different location than the Library?
I hope there is a way that is not apparent to do this.
Thanks for another great tutorial.

I just found the way!; as you said, song can be dragged there.
I opened up the folder where my music was and simply dragged the songs to the right side.

As far as I know from the tutorial I previously downloaded by shared files SE by default, Windows Media Player 12 attempts to burn CDs and DVDs as fast as possible. However, in some cases your media burner may not be able to handle the high speed transfer. Perhaps the media burner is rated for a specific speed but errors in workmanship prevent it from running successfully unless it burns media at a slower rate. Or you may be using CDs or DVDs that are rated for a slower burn rate than what the media burner can support. Thus you can slow down Windows Media Player 12’s burn rate until you find one that works for your equipment / media.
Thank you so, so much Adrian. It’s amazing, looking at the time and effort you put into your blog and detailed information you provide. However, when I burn an audio CD, the track name does not show up on the CD. It shows up on the player, but not on the CD. I used other programs before, like http://goo.gl/PF0zSR, https://cdburnerxp.se/en/home, etc. But they enable the track name showing up on the CD.

I will love to follow your tutorial. Actually I am fed up of using this burner for creating my CDs. I was tired with the burn speed. It is too slow and sometimes even I used to get message of failed burn or even some times some of the data has been skipped. I tried gapless burning for this matter but it also really didn’t work for me. I had this problem in case of some of my CDs. Other audio CDs burnt well. I can now use it for my car stereo or even for my standard CD player. Even I was able to play the music of my library by just burning the discs with few clicks.

I have been every place I can think of, scanned manuals at Hastings and now I’ve gone thru your great tutorial but nothing answers my question. Using Windows Media Player 12 can I print out a list of the songs that are on my newly-burned CD so I can keep it with the CD in the sleeve. I usually do this thru RealPlayer which is so so so so simple but now that we have a new computer I would like to use the W Media Player to burn my CDs but does it have the jewel case feature? HELP! I’m so frustrated.
Windows Media Player 12 does not have any printing features. You can only make a screenshot and print it. Or you create the list manually in WordPad, or… anything else that works for you.
Thank you so, so much Adrian. That’s what I was beginning to think but couldn’t find the answer. How dumb of WMP not to have that feature. Again, thannnnnnnnnnnk you. Now I can move on to my next frustration. *smile*

I am trying to figure out how to burn a data disc without the all the files being separated into folders? I want all my music one data disc. I have a disc i want all 93 songs on. How can this be done? I use windows media player.

Is there any way to burn a data CD of songs from a playlist that will play in the order I specified in that playlist? Basically, every way I’ve tried, the files get burned with a number prefix corresponding to its track position in the original CD it was ripped from. I.E. “01 Chinese Democracy; 02 Shackler’s Revenge; etc.”
Then whatever player I put it in will play it in numeric order so all the 01’s play, followed by all the 02’s, etc. This is not what the playlist specifies.
It doesn’t seem to matter if I add the playlist info to the CD, arrange things in folders, use MP3 or WMA formats. It works fine if I’m doing an audio CD, but if I want the higher song count capacity, I have to do data CD.
I could brute force it by painstakingly copying each song I want to a folder, manually changing the names, and then burning from there but that’s a pain with a 20+ song playlist. Especially since there’s no way I’ve found to just export all songs from a playlist.
What gets me really steamed is that I installed iTunes to experiment and iTunes does this perfectly. Arrange your playlist, tell it to burn CD of playlist, and it does all the numerical renaming for you while it burns. If there is truly no way for Media Player to do this, it is a terribly stupid oversight on Microsoft’s part. If there is a way to do this but it’s just buried under piles of options and commands, please hire some better programmers. MS should not be on the 12th version of Media Player and still have this problem.

I am trying to burn many audio discs, but after the files are prepared, the disc is automatically ejected not writing or burning anything to the disc.
Help. I have followed all the steps and I am having trouble playing discs in my car. I am running windows 7 and wmp 12 I tried both WPL and M3U. I put 7 albums on the disc but when it reaches the end of the first album it starts over. Any Ideas?

HELP!! I downloaded audio books for homeschooling..it automatically put the files into downloads, and I have tried several ways to move them to my music library to be able to burn them…the books are from librivox…and it would not let me extract files, so I opened them with WMP, they play but WILL NOT even show up in the media libraries… Any suggestions??

We made a cd of us singing. We picked out our own artwork. Now when we load the playlist on our iPad and iPhone, the artwork doesn’t show, it shows on our MacPro. We have done this many times, this is the first time on iTipunes 12 and Yosemite

What pisses me off now is that I used to make cds with 50+ songs on them now I can barely add 20 because they can’t be more the 80 min but when I put the 20 my cd isn’t even a quarter filled and basically has wasted money filling the other 500+ mb.

Hi, ive got a problem with burning songs on to these CD-RW. Firstly the disc size is 500mb, yet only lets me have 80mins on them. I can understand that, but i got an 1.15.0min mix. Why cant i burn that on to my 80min capable CD-RW?

I used to be able to burn cd audio discs but lately the cds only burn as data cds. I have been choosing the “burn an audio cd using Windows Media Player” option but still won’t play in cd players. I only use CD-R and I don’t have any issues burning workable DVDs so don’t think there is any issue with my burner. Please Help!

I tried burning my own songs to Audio CD using MediaPlayer12. The songs have burned onto CD but only in mono!
My songs are in good stereo in MP3 format – how do I get a stereo burn?
