Unknown duration of the piece

Good evening,
I am about to create an audio CD as I am going on vacation tomorrow, but some of my music has an undetermined duration and therefore I cannot burn them onto my disc. However, I followed the instructions: "Unable to determine if this file can fit on a disc, as Windows Media Player cannot detect the length of the file. Playing the file before burning may allow the player to detect this length." Despite playing the music all the way through, Windows still can't determine the length of the track.
However, on iTunes, the length of the track is recognized. Can someone help me resolve this issue, thank you.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 9.0

    Use VLC Media Player, it will detect errors and allow you to recreate an index for each file.

      Yes, with VLC all the durations are correct, but as soon as I return to Windows Media to burn, I always have the same error...

    Hello
    if you know the capacity of your songs, you add it with a calculator and you do not exceed the capacity of the CD you want to burn.

      If I could, I would have done it, but Windows Media simply doesn’t want to. Can we burn CDs through VLC by any chance? Otherwise, can we directly enter the file and manually impose a duration on it?

      These software programs are media players, not burners. Certainly, Windows Media Player allows burning, but that's the bare minimum.

      Try using Easy CD/DVD Burner

      With this software, my disk is not compatible, yet it is brand new, it's a CD-RW, so I don't understand :S

      What does it say for the CD you want to burn?
