Moving MP3's to DVD-RW

Anyone know of a good 'free' program for moving/storing mp3's on a DVD-RW? I had Roxio7 but was having a problem with it lately. Windows Media Player which is ok for CD's won't read the DVD-RW. I tried using the Windows Explorer method of 'storing' the files on DVD-RW, but it's not letting me, keep getting the 'Windows has encountered an error' message.
I want to store them on a DVD-RW as Im talking about a LOT of mp3's, over 100Gb.

The Burning software works well and is simple to use, thanks again, but I noticed all my mp3 icons which were Roxio (now uninstalled) then Media Player are now the plain generic file icons. I keep changing it in the control panel/folder options/file types/ list, but it reverts back to the generic file type. how can I keep the icons as wmp default?

Right click an mp3 file and choose open with. Select windows media player and make sure "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked. Select OK. You may have to reboot the computer before this takes.
