Burning mp3 files to CD using Windows Media Player

I'm on Windows 7. I wanted to delete all the files from a RW-CD so that I could burn some different mp3 files onto it using Windows Media Player. I thought that the best way to do this would be to format the CD. I did this but when I tried to burn the mp3 files onto the CD using WMP it said 'First insert a blank disc', which I found puzzling because I thought that if you formatted a CD it would erase all material on it(?)

Anyway, I did then manage to erase the files using another method and I was then able to burn some mp3 files onto it. These took up about 59MB of space on the disk. But then when I dragged some more files to WMP and tried to burn them onto the disk it ejected the disk and told me to insert a blank disk. So it wouldn't let me add more files to the disk even though the capacity of the disk is 700MB and my files only took up 59MB. Can someone advise me on this please? Thanks.

    My Galaxy Ace is probably of a similar vintage - if you have a spare 'Aux In' socket on your hi-fi you could connect from the smart phone headphone socket (always connect before powering up the hi-fi or speaker damage may result!) and run Spotify through your system. I have a Marantz streaming amp so I am lucky enough to be able to do all this wirelessly and the sound quality is virtually as good as CD - connecting via cable is not quite as good but significantly better than PC speakers.
