Every time I go to burn music to a cd-r it always says
will not fit. What needs to be done in order to be able to
burn them to a disc?

Most likely you're trying to write too much audio onto a disc.

Audio CDs can usually store between 72 and 80 minutes of music. How much
are you trying to put over?

long. you have to have 80 mins., of music or it will not
fit. when ready to burn, check the meter to make sure it
is exactly 80 mins. or less. then burn your cd
 
Windows Media Player uses the system's IMAPI CD burner. The burner isn't
what you most would call reliable. There are a few things you can do to
troubleshoot the IMAPI burner, but none are completely guaranteed to work
all of the time.

These tips can be found at http://tinyurl.com/32zkh. This "should" help
with most of the common error's like 8004020E, 80040227, C00D11AB, C00D117E,
C00D11C9, Etc, Etc.

You also might wan to try reinstalling the player over itself. -

If the site doesn't help fix the problem then the next thing to try is to
download and install the free Nero Fast Burn Plug-In. (Here:
http://tinyurl.com/u8p3) This should work, the only problem is it will not
burn DRM'ed WMA's. Such as those purchased from sites like Napster,
MusicNow, Wal-Mart, etc.

In my opinion the "best" thing to do is forget about using WMP to burn CD's
until we get a better burner. Nero 6 Ultra Edition is a great program to
burn CD's along with Roxio's Easy CD Creator or Easy Media Creator 7.

If you badly wish to use Windows Media Player to burn CD's and the above
links didn't help you will have to contact Product Support. There are no
more known solutions then the ones posted.
