Hi

Look on the toolbar.
It only shows when you have a disk in the drive!

Once it has been burned to you library you can use the Burn option to write the tracks to another CD.

What view are you using to show WMP on the desktop...Library or now playing? In the Library view....it's called "Burn".

An image from 'Rip option missing'. Windows Media Player open with a single song ready and the Burn tab highlighted.
