In order to use Media Player to burn with you need to have XP's built in
burning software enabled. However it is possible that Nero is conflicting
with it as the two burning engines sometimes don't get along well. Right
click your CD Burner icon and select Properties->Recording Tab then check
the box to enable recording. Reboot. That should allow Media Player to burn
but it may cause problems with Nero or you may end up with problems with
both programs. Personally I'd disable XP's burning software and I would
stick with Nero. It is much better than Media Player and in my opinion much
superior to XP's built in burning software.
