The music tracks that won't burn, if you right click them in Media Player and
select properties, you'll get a dialog with a number of tabs. One of the
tabs says "Media Usage Rights".
If you don't have permissions to burn, that tab will have the text:
This file cannot be burned.
This probably means that you didn't purchase the track or that where ever
you got it from, it didn't come with burn rights.

Thanks for the answer. I have always had Sonic installed on the comp., but I.
will look more into that later (off to work now).
There is no problem with playing the music files, only burning them in Media
Center. Can burn them in oher programs though. I have tried to play songs and
then burn them, but it will not. Just tells me the files are protected by a
license. I have burned them before in Media Center and have not re-installed
or anything.

If WMP cannot see your burner, it's likely that you have Roxio/Sonic's
"Direct to Disc" or Nero's "InCD" installed on your computer. Both of these
prevent WMP from seeing the burner drive as they tell the operating system to
treat the discs like hard drives.
Disabling or uninstalling the offending component usually resolves that issue.
Your WMA files may have been ripped with copy protection enabled. Your best
option is to re-rip the files without copy protection enabled (Tools ->
Options, Rip tab, "Copy protect music" checkbox).
If you cannot then you have to play the content to force a re-licensing of
the content. Typically this is a problem if you have a new computer, or if
you've done a clean install of your operating system and copied the files
back onto the computer.
Playing the content should make a webpage appear going to a Microsoft
website that will restore the licenses.

For some reason, Media Player suddenly won't recognise I have a burning
device. Other programs burn fine, but Media Player just tells me to plug in a
burning device. Any thoughts?
And also, Media Center (not player) won't burn the wma-files, but only the
mp3-files, because of a license problem. I must say that I have burned the
very same files before and all the songs are from my own ripped cd's. Any
more thoughts?
