SYMPTOMS
You are running Microsoft Windows Media Player 10 on a Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based computer. When you cancel a burn operation, song titles are still copied to the recordable CD.

For example, if you click Stop Burn during the burn process, you receive the following message:

Some of the files have not been burned to the CD yet.

If you stop burning now, you will not be able to add more files to the CD later.

Are you sure you want to stop burning?

If you then click Yes to cancel the operation, all song titles are written to the CD anyway.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if you click Stop Burn after the conversion process has completed. The problem occurs because Windows has already started writing information to the CD. If the burn operation is canceled at this point, the CD media may be rendered unusable.

Note The conversion process has completed when all the titles show Converted instead of Ready to burn in the Status column.
