Need help burning a Music CD

[TehMac]

So I'd like to put together a music CD for my car. Nothing stupid, so don't worry about rap, but there are a few artists and such and I'd like to burn with Windows Media Player.

At any rate, whenever I create a playlist so I can burn that playlist into the CD, I can't. I don't know how, for one thing, and whenever I move away from that playlist, it disappears, and I can't search for it...it just disappears. I have tried this three times now. Three fucking times, and it always goes away.

I have saved the playlists and they still disappear.

Any help? At all?

I've never used WMP to burn but it sounds like you may need nero or ashampoo or something like that to burn the music CD. Also not positive either of those can burn from just a playlist, in my experience I've had to drag and drop each song I wanted to burn. Probably not much help to you.

IIRC isn't there a burn to cd tab or something like that in WMP? I've never used it, but my rommie last year did. You could try grabbing a free trial of Nero and giving that a shot, it's what I've always used.
