In addition to basic media playback functionality, Windows Media Player also burns music to optical discs. Please note that this operation must not infringe copyright.

Instructions
Step 1
Purchase a CD-R or CD-RW disc from stores in your city. Your best bet is to give your music preference to CD-R media. List the files to be recorded, and then proceed to compiling the recording by opening Windows Media Player.
Step 2
In its right menu, select the "Burn" item, and then drag the files from your library to the compose field of the disc menu. Record using the appropriate command. This option is relevant for recording CD-audio, supported by most devices. Its main drawback is its small file capacity; it is rarely possible to include more than 20 items in the list, even though the MP3 sources did not weigh so much.
Step 3
To burn music to DVDs, make sure your drive supports this feature first by looking at the label on its front panel. After that, copy the audio files to your removable storage device and burn using standard Windows tools if you have Vista or Seven operating system installed on your computer.
Step 4
To burn in operating systems XP and below, use third-party utilities such as CD Burner XP. Select the creation of the appropriate type of disc, and then proceed to editing its contents using the "Add" button. Here you can use a large number of files depending on the storage capacity limit.
Step 5
You can also burn a CD in this way, but it doesn't make much sense. Also note that this sequence is valid for playback on devices that support recordable file formats and read DVDs. Record the project.
Step 6
After recording, be sure to check your discs on your computer and on the devices for which they are intended. In case there are certain problems during recording, reduce the speed of the drive in the settings.
