Problem burning to CD

[cbak12sg]

I have a PC running XP, with a CD-RW facility. When I try to burn tracks, temp files are created. I need to go to Explorer, and click "Write these files to CD". If I select "Audio" and not "Data", Explorer doesn't write the files directly, but Windows Media Player opens and apparently burns the tracks. However, Explorer shows that the temp files still exist, but what has been copied across is a load of 1Kb "pointers", rather than the full files in, say, *.WAV form. This creates a disc which doesn't play in all hardware, eg, it gets stuck in my car stereo without playing at all.

Any ideas why this happens, or what I should do to get the *.WAV files copied across in audio format, which I was able to do on my last PC?

In windows media player you can select tracks to be ripped in mp3 format.Rip a track to the library, you will find it in the library by clicking on all music to the left hand side, then build a burn list on the right hand side, click burn and it should do it .
