I feel it my responsibility to tell you exactly what works for me. I have tried many approaches and one submitted by Mike Boyd in the past and also my appreciation to Kevin, this is the only tutorial that works consistently for me. There are many ways of burning a CD, but for me, I needed detailed instructions and this procedure seems to be no-fail:
Burning a Disc with Windows Media Player 1. Insert a bblank CD into your disc drive. 2. Go to that drive in "Computer." 3. Open the context menu and click on "Burn to Disc." 4. Give your disc a Name, Select the burning speed that you want, choose what type of disc you want to burn, also, There are a couple of other obvious selections to make. 5. Now, go back to "Computer", and navigate to the music files that you want to burn. 6. Select the files, then open the context menu again and click on "Send To", and then on "DVD drive." 7. The files will be copied to the disc. 8. Now go back to Windows Media Player, and tab down to the "Burn Disc" button and press enter here. 9. It seems to take a minute or two to start the burning process, but when it does, it will complete the burn and eject your new disc. Thank you very much to everyone who took time to contribute. To err is human but to really mess things up, One needs a computer. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of jim rawls Sent: Monday, May 12, 2014 7:21 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Burning Audio CD with Win. Media Player 12 Ok, jim here, and I haven't been following this thread very closely, so I'll throw in my two cents, and see if it helps. First, put the file you wish to burn to a CD into your drive, which will be E or F or something like that. Second, put a blank CD in your CD drive. Third, close the drive, and see if that message pops up then. If it does, follow the prompts and see what happens.

Media Player 12 Kevin, I must play the CDs on my Bose CD player, never on the computer. Therefore, I must use Win. Media Player 12, never Win. Explorer. You state and I think this is where the step begins: when windows pops up a message you have files ready to be burned to disc click to continue Well, this message never pops up nowhere and I am not sure why it would if it is not first evoked to do so. Already, I am stuck again, dead in the water. It is so easy for operators to do things on the computer, but not so easy to explain in detail how to get them done, unfortunately. Nowhere do I find this message you refer to. I am sorry. ----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Lee Sent: Monday, May 12, 2014 3:51 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Burning Audio CD with Win. Media Player 12 try just using windows explorer to burn with windows 7 explorer if you want to burn files to a cd or dvd click the application key on the file and select it to be sent to your dvd/cd drive do so for as many files as you want to store on the dvd/cd do this also if you want to make an audio cd note if making an audio cd it can only be played in a computer but you can put more music files on the cd and the track names of the songs will be retained, if you burn with win media player only a certain amount of music files can be placed on the cd when windows pops up a message you have files ready to be burned to disc click to continue if you have a blank disc in the drive just click the application key and the dvd/cd drive should be selected so just select from the context menu burn to disc and select burn to disc if you do not have a disc in the drive, insert a disc and go to computer, open it and select your cd/dvd drive and in the context menu of your cd/dvd drive if you do not see delete temporary files the files have not been sent to windows explorer if delete temporary files then just select burn to disc and follow the prompts. if you are making a dvd movie, only two files can be on your dvd. audio ts and video ts. select these two files and send them to windows explorer. -----Original Message----- From: Liuda Sent: Monday, May 12, 2014 11:33 AM To: Jaws Users Subject: [JAWS-Users] Burning Audio CD with Win. Media Player 12 The ripping process to the hard drive was successful. Now, I am trying in every way to make the below burning directions work, but they simply do not. I use Win 7, JAWS 12 and Win. Media Player 12. I haven't been able to get past Step 2 yet. No matter what I try, when I insert the CD, the options that are suggested below do not come up. They only happen when I open the disk drive in My Computer and then I hear what Step 2 refers to. Which programs should be open before inserting the CD??? Should any programs be opened at all or all closed??? After that point, I do everything suggested but never come to a burn button, although not sure exactly even where that should be with my truncated directions at that point. Does anybody have any ideas on this topic and how I can do this successfully, when I cannot even get the first step of these instructions to work properly??? Thank you very much in advance. *Burning a CD with Windows Media Player Burning a CD with Windows Media Player Quick Method 1. Place a blank cd into the cdrw drive and close it. 2. Shortly a prompt will appear on screen asking what you wish to do with this disc, "open, play etc." So press the letter o for open followed by enter. Leave this window open for later use. 3. Navigate to the location of files for the cd burning project and select them. a. To select all press control plus the letter a. b. If you wish to select noncontinuous files (not below each other in the list), do the following Move to the first file to be selected. Hold down the left control key and press the spacebar twice or until you hear the file's name followed by the word "selected. Next, keep the control key down and arrow to each file to be included and hit the spacebar. You will hear "selected" if using a screenreader. This option of selecting files can be done without a screenreader. I mention this because there may be some visual computer users who wish to use the keyboard. 4. Once all files are selected using the "select all" or "noncontinuous" method, press control plus the letter c for copying all files to the clipboard. Mouse users can click the right mouse button and click on "copy." 5. Press alt plus tab and return to the open window of the cdrw drive. 6. Press control plus the letter v to paste in clipboard's contents. 7. Press alt plus the letter f. 8. Press the letter t. 9. Press alt plus the letter n for next. 10. If you are recording a data cd, Windows Media will start recording the cd automatically and open the cdrw tray when finished. 11. If making an audio cd, You will be prompted if you wish to make an audio or data cd. The default is audio. Some individuals make their audio cd's as data cd's to fit more on the disc. However, these will not play in a standard cd player. So that is why audio is default. Data cd's are usually text, program or photo files. So assuming you wish to make an audio cd, Press alt plus n again. 12. Windows media Player will open. Then press alt plus the letter s to start the burn. 13. Windows media player will open the cdrw tray when finished. 14. Remove the cd and close the tray. 15. Navigate back to the cdrw drive. You will find the titles of the files just recorded. Press control plus the letter a followed by the delete key. 16. Press the letter y for the prompt asking if you are sure about removing mutiple files. This only removes the titles from the cdrw drive and not from the original location. This makes it easier when preparing for another cd burn. If you do not remove the tracks, they will still be their the next time entering the cdrw drive.
