when i have burned a cd on my laptop it keeps saying it is blank but it plays in my dvd player
How much available space does it say there is on the cd? Likely
Your DVD player may not be capable of playing CDs.
the disc is 700mb and i only burned 5 songs and when i play it in my dvd player it works but in my laptop it says blank disc
my dvd player is playing it its the laptop that keeps saying disc is empty
What program are you using to burn the disks?
im using windows media player
I have never used WMP to burn so I can't really help.
im using windows media player to burn discs
I understand that. I am saying I have never done that myself so I am not able to help with issues that involve burning in Windows Media Player (WMP).
sorry wrote it wrong is there another way to burn discs thanks
There are third party programs like Nero but you need to buy them. If WMP was working OK before then you should be able to fix the problem and continue to use it. Did you just start burning disks? Have you burned disks that do play in your computer before? What is the source of the music?
it always worked before but now it keeps saying disc is blank after ive burned music but the cd works in dvd players and cd players so i dont understand why it saying disc is blank the music is just mp3 same as ive always done
Are you sure you aren't leaving out a step? Like finalizing the session?
no i am doing exactly the same as before i have even tried using different discs but the same thing happens it must be the media player i think
You might try posting a new thread asking for advice on free burning programs. Then try a different program. Have you burned a lot of disks with your burner?
It may just need to have the lens cleaned. You can by a lens cleaning kit for the drive.
Maybe you accidentally burned it on a DVD-RW instead of a CD-RW.
HI NO IT WAS A CD-R DISC IT ALWAYS WORKED BEFORE SO I DONT UNDERSTAND
WHERE WOULD I GET A LENS CLEANING KIT FOR MY DRIVE
Computer store or Bestbuy. Places like that. I Googled for CD laser lens cleaning kit and got lots of hits. Below is one.
Radio shack, Family dollar, walmart, kmart. They are a fairly common item. Likely
thank you very much i will try that
thank you for all your advice i will def try that thanks
