I use Ashampoo software and can't address WMP to create a CD. However, I would suggest selecting a few song titles and carefully going through the CD burning process again. Pay attention to every point in the process and make sure you're selecting recording as a wav file. That is what I would try. :) Hope it helps.

I used Roxio. I didn't want to pay their price for it but found it to be easy to use it did a great job. It would be a little harder, but the free program Audacity could be used to record music from any source that is played through your computer. After recording it with Audacity and exporting it as a .wav or MP3 file you could burn it to CD using Windows Media Player or other CD burning software. sanantoniorose, you could use audacity to record music from Utube as you play it, but I don't recommend doing so with copyrighted music.

Jane, I purchased a cable at Best Buy to connect my iPod to my stereo receiver. It sounds like you need the same thing. Go to the department that sells iPods and other MP3s and look for a rack of cable accessories. I think that mine is made by Belden. Or ask a salesperson for help. This cable will have a mini-plug on one end (plugs into the earphone jack on your MP3 player), and then splits into to two cables, each with an "RCA" plug on the ends. These match the inputs on your Sony system, make sure that you have two Audio In jacks, a Right and a Left. If you don't, you may need another type of cable, or an adaptor to go with the cable. It would be helpful if you could see your Sony unit in the same store that sells the cables, but not necessary. Radio Shack is probably another source for such cables. They tell you to turn down the volume on the player so that you won't blow out the speakers when you turn it on. Once you get it set up and working, you can see how to best set the volume. Hope this helps, Steve

When you buy an mp3, it should have a cable to hook to the computer. This is how you copy the music to the mp3, and may also be used to connect to a radio or speaker, provided the radio or speaker accepts the connection cable. Check your radio and or Bose to see what extra connection points it has. I have a Sansa mp3 that connects to a Timex radio, and the connection cable plugs into the earphone port on the mp3, thus allowing me to hear the music thru the Timex radio speakers. I also bought a small speaker set, runs on two AA batteries, that are external speakers for an mp3. Also plugs into earphone port on mp3. Check radio and bose, see what you can find for hooking up mp3 to them. Good luck.
