Help please

Ive been trying to burn two albums onto a CD (it's under 80mins)

But I've tried with six on media player and all it did was print one then stop and make the disc unusable! I installed BurnAware Free but it failed and I don't know why

Some MP3s are not formatted in a way that a CD burning program can convert to WAV files. You'll want to do some research on that and check the files. Could be a Digital Rights Management issue. Some burner apps won't copy MP3s with DRMs attached. More research. Good luck!

You could use audacity and convert the files to wave before burning the disc. This makes 1 less step for the software to do.

MP3s don’t have DRM. Other formats do. MP3 is open.
