it refuses to burn ANYTHING. please help!

ok so i have vista home premium and windows media player although i donno
which version of that (i just got the computer and it is only a month old).
anyway i am trying to burn a CD and it wont. i have 19 songs and it totals
roughly 73 minutes of music. it recognizes that i put a cd into the drive
(finally that was an ordeal in and of itself, i had RW didnt like it, and
went out to buy R and i thought that was the issue, wrong) jow when i push
the start burn button it seems to fiddle around for a minute and then this
thing pops up that says "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while
burning the file to the disc. For additional assistance, click Web Help."
with a link to here. it says some of the possible problems could include
(but are not limited too)
-disc may be damaged(brand new not likely)
-select slower recording speed(did it, not helping)
-try different brand of discs (did it again with the not helping)
-quit other programs(nothing else is on, except help now)

it says the error code is C00D0019 = error reading from a file

what does that mean? someone please help me, i'm so computer dumb and this
thing is supposed to be self explanitory, thats what the guy at the store
said.

Do any of the tracks show up with a red [x] next to them once it's
complained about being unable to read the file ?

It's possible the file was added to the library (so WMP thinks it
knows where it is) then moved somewhere else that it's not able to
keep track of it - for example moving the file from C:\Documents and
Settings\My Music to C:\Audio Tacks

Are you sure the file is a type which media player can play ? What
happens if you find it in the library and try to play it first ?
