Re: making a cd
By default Windows Media Player creates "data CDs". You need to set Windows Media Player to create an "audio CD". (I don't use Windows Media Player so I don't know where that setting is, but it will be in the settings somewhere. Alternatively you could use a different program to burn the CD, such as (free) CDBurnerXP
