infrarecorder is free and open source software for burning data, videos, and music (mp3s) to cd. You just pick the file you want to burn (or drag and drop it) and choose audio cd in infrarecorder.

One or more songs have a problem with their ID tags. Back up your songs before continuing. Remove all songs and it will should be back to normal. Add songs individually to find the bad song or songs and avoid that one.

Your battery is not dead because if it was, then navigation wheel would not be lighting up. Your screen is blank because when you touch the navigation wheel, you probably decrease the brightness of the screen. Turn the wheel counterclockwise, as this will brighten up the screen display. Press the center button when done. Reply back if this solution does not help.

Your Screen is most likely broke because even if somehow accidentally the brightness on the screen setting was messed with it wouldn't make it white the only real solution is to buy a new one or learn to navigate the device without seeing

Connect it with the USB cable and if that dosen't work install the software that came with it. If your memory card for the device is removable use an adapter to connect the card to the PC.
