grahamc,

Have you been able to play songs using the LW player in the past? To be honest, the LW player's pretty awful... my best advice would be to disable it (tools > options > player) & use another player

But if you really want to use it, try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings withinLW's tools > options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.
In case you're using Vista: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

david1957,

What program are you using to burn CDs? Are you getting an error message when you try to burn a CD?

Are you trying to add songs from LW's library to burn? If you are, add songs from your saved folder instead... go to LW's library, click on Saved Files > highlight a file > click Explore (bottom left).
Now your saved folder will open - this is where you need to add files from, when burning a CD.

Unless you're sure that your player can play mp3 CDs, make sure to burn an Audio CD. Most older players won't be able to play an mp3 CD
Also check which type of CD you're using - many players can't play CD-RW (rewritable CDs that you can use over & over again). So maybe start off with a CD-R disc.
