I burned some audio CDs and they won play on my CD player – how come?
1) Make sure you are using CD-R disks, not CD-RW disks – very few CD audio players can recognise CD-RW disks at all. 2) Make sure you are burning single session audio CDs with your software – audio CD players won’t, for the most part, recognise data CDs or multi-session CDs. 3) If you are burning single-session audio CDs on CD-R media and they still won’t play on your audio CD players, then I’m afraid it looks as if your burner just can’t produce disks that your audio players can read. Audio CD players are notoriously temperamental about playing home-burned CDs. About the only other thing I can suggest is trying different types of CD-R disks – some audio CD players seem to like gold CDs better, whereas other players seem to do better with the green CD-R media. I’d recommend Kodak gold disks and Sony pale green ones over anything else myself, but I can’t guarantee they’ll work with your particular player. Verbatim are recommended by some people also, but I’ve never used them myself.
