Don't open the music files. Instead, select them so that they're highlighted. Opening one will play it in your media player, but that's not how you'll burn the music to the CD.
Right-click one of the selected files and go to Send to > DVD RW Drive (X:) or CD Drive (X:) depending on the type of optical drive you have. The drive letter will vary depending on your system.

Enter a name for the disc. You can also set the recording speed here, but leaving it at the highest speed (which is the default) is advisable unless you have a reason not to. Select Next.
A notification appears when the music finishes burning to the CD. Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know!
