you can buy ones that fit in the usb but im not sure how much they are. you can get a dvd burner from pc world for as little as £35 that will also burn cds

Have you tried other software for burning? personally WMP is kak and is a pain.
There are a lot better media players that are free.
You could use an external if you so wished, would be slightly more exspensive than an internal one.
Price wise about £20-25 for a CD Rewriter ad about £30+ for a DVD Rewriter.

Before spending owt you might like to download and run CDSpeed

http://www.cdspeed2000.com/

This is part of Nero's Toolkit and should advise whether your CDRW is working properly whatever Media Player's opinion

...and some freeware CD burning software too -
