Why Does Windows Media Player 11 Not Recognize My Cd-r Blank Disc When I Click Buirn?

I'm in the same boat.   My windows XP Toshiba lap top does recognize the CD-R blanks. However my Windows Media Player does not.  Any help would be great.

Thanks,

I have windows vista 64 bit , also have issue with windows media player 11 not burning, I'm using Sony Cd-R. I have burned on this type of disc before . I don't understand why it will not let me know. Can any one help

Does Windows recognize that you inserted a blank disc and ask you what you want to do? Are you running Vista?

Sometimes MP 11 won't allow you to do anything because it thinks you might be pirating software or trying to steal music. That may sound paranoid, but I personally still used Media Player 10 because it gives me less problems.

I had the same problem. I called my online music download provider to see if it was a music license issue. They assured me that it was not, that this is a known problem with Windows Media Player 11. They recommended to try burning to CD with the free Music Match player. In searching online for the Music Match player, I found the Yahoo music player instead; don't know if they're the same thing or not. But anyway, the Yahoo player burned my wma music files to CD as an Audio CD just fine. The Yahoo player worked, Windows Media Player 11 did not.

This is helpful information to know that it is a known issue, but does anyone have a fix to get Windows Media player 11 to burn CDs in XP?

If you guys have "roxio drag to disc" go ahead and close it before trying to burn with WMP
