Yes your computer has a DVD writer... It should have the software to burn DVDs and CDs

The Dell Inspiron 531 is a desktop personal computer with a Microsoft Windows operating system. An Inspiron equipped with a CD burner can be used to record audio discs using Windows Media Player, which comes installed on the Inspiron as a standard part of the software package Dell loads onto its computers. Blank, recordable discs and pre-recorded audio CDs are the only supplies needed for the project.

If your computer cannot burn CD's (try to burn any file to it) then it's probably gone bad and will have to be replaced.
If Media Player is the only app that will not burn the files, perhaps you need to download the latest version of Media Player. Or, perhaps, uninstall it and reinstall it.

put a blank cd in your drive and make a playlist in window media player and open the copy to cd dialog and copy your contents. You can also go for 'nero' for the same purpose which is more easy and better.

just check the settings on your media player my guess is it recorded the wrong track format the reason i asked if it played on media player was just to make sure it had recorded the format that is used in most cd players is .wav as for your question for the best burning program i guess it comes to personal choice hope this helps regards Jim

Sounds like you have a faulty CD/DVD RW drive.
You may be able to get a replacement under warranty.

Your friend is burning an mp3 disc, the bitrate for all audio CD's are the same , even if the song has a lower bit rate, its upconverted back to a higher one in order to be CDA

to creat your own mp3 disc using nero www.nero.com a trial is aviable or www.phazeddl.com (search it there)

1.) click ctart, programs , nero , nero express
2.) select music then jukebox audio cd
3.) drag the soungs you want across and burn it

If i mis understood what you were asking please reply and i can be of further assistance

When you burn the music have you changed the format of the file to .cda because .mp3 will not work on an ordinary cd player. One way to burn audio is through Windows Media Player. That will covert the file format so you can listen to it. Just tell me if this dosn't help.

All The Best,
