Once you have selected the burn tab at the top of the screen, you will gain access to Media Player's built-in CD burning engine. Before starting to add music to the burn list it is first necessary to check that the type of CD to be created is set to audio CD.

To configure Windows Media Player to do this, click on the small down-arrow icon (situated underneath the burn tab) and select audio CD from the menu that appears; the format type by default is set to audio CD.
