CD's I burn with Windows Media Player version 10.0 work fine on my PC and my home stereo but do not work well with my portable stereo or my car stereo (either they are staticky or won't play at all). Is there a setting or some other way to make them compatible with other CD players?

If the media you are using works fine when you burn from a different program, such as Nero or Roxio, it's possible that Windows Media Player isn't burning your discs properly.  Windows Media Player is one of the least compatible programs I have seen as far as burning Audio CDs.  If you have Nero or Roxio, I recommend using one of those programs to burn your Audio CDs.  (Nero or Roxio normally come with your computer if it is equipped with a burner or with the burner if you buy it retail.)  If you don't have Nero or Roxio, it may be worth the investment.  \n\nBut before you purchase any software, take a blank disc to a friend's house and see if their computer will burn a disc that is compatible with the player in question.  If it will, then it's likely your software.

It sounds like your CD player is one that doesn't recognise the CD-R format (not CD-ROM).  This means Recordable CD.  The older players are guilty of this, because CD-R's had not been invented or perfected when the player was manufactured.  Also, for awhile after they were able to play the CD-R, they couldn't handle the CD-RW (which means CD ReWrite - ones you could record on and then record over top several times - like tape).  Next time you buy a CD player, get a multi-purpose one - and don't forget to include the MP3 format.  Computers can, with the right software and recording CD deck, make MP3 CD's.  They hold about 200 songs.

Windows media player works great. Download mediaplayer 10. It is free.

You can't convert a file to .cda - that's just Windows' way of displaying the tracks on an Audio CD. You need to convert the .flac files to .wav, then burn the .wav files to an audio CD. I would suggest using one of the audio converters that you've found, then using your CD burning software, create a new audio CD and add the .wav files you've just created.

Windows Media isn't the best burning format...I've always had lots of problems with it...use iTunes, it makes burning cd's so easy!

If you have Windows Media Player 10.  You can burn both Data & Audio CDs using that program.  It's free and you can get it at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx\n\nIf you can't burn the CD, make sure that you have a CD Writer installed in your computer.  If it is not, they run pretty cheap now adays.  You can get them at a PC Recycle store if you want.\nAlso, if you do have a CD writer, make sure you have the correct driver's installed.

Go to Media Player and then insert your CD and what ever media you have songs on and then 3rd option on Windows media player where it says Rip. and that should do it.

i havent used WMM, I use pinnacle studio 10, but this is a general computer question so it should be universal.\n\nWhen you burn to CD, your final creation, what format did you output it to?\nVCD, SVCD?\n\nWhich means you properly prepared it for either a dvd player or even something like a play station.\n\nA few considerations that might impede your ability to play the video. First, the CD might not have given a good burn, or could be incompatible with your dvd playing device.\n\nSome older DVD players will not accept either the CD+R CD-R.\nI havent run into this type of question for quite some time.  But I do recall that older players had problems with one of the disk formats.\nso theres a potential problem there.  I believe the older format was CD+R, in which case those players wouldnt properly read CD-R, or vice versa\n\nWhat format you saved or did not convert it to could be another problem.  And, depending on if you verified the data and you did not have any BufferOverruns or errors then that could prevent the vcd from playing.\n\nNow if you just burned it to as WMA or kept it as an Avi file, and you did not convert it, then that could be your problem right there.\n\nYou will need to either create a VCD or SVCD disk, otherwise all you did was copy and burn that creates a disk that can only be ready in another computer.\n\nIf you want to to be able to see the disk without worrying about formating it, or nothing like that , you would have to check the inputs on your model television set, and see if it has an S-Video connection, or even just the RCA colored connectors.\n\nIf it does then theres a few little devices that will allow you to see whats on your computer on your TV -- basically turns your TV into one big monitor--you could even work or play games using your TV this way. \nDAZZLE is one, and even walmart has a DVDEXPRESSDK2 device that does the same thing.  However I like the Dazzle Platinum - has good software.\n\nAnyhoo.  what this device does is it conects to your computer's USB port, and connects to your TV's s-video or RCA jacks.\nthere you go, whats on your computer monitor now shows on your TV.\n\nNow I have never tried this, but say you only have an old TV with nothing but the cable connector in the back, as its only connection. Well...\nThere is something called an RF-Modulator that will change a cable connector into the S-Video and the RCA (red white yellow connections) and you could IN THEORY connect the two devices together(the Dazzle and the Modulator) and there you have it.\nThe poor mans way to work around and turn your old TV into a computer monitor where you can watch your newly created photo album with music with ease.\n\nThats the best info I can come up with on th subject.\nHope it helps some someone.

If you are refering to the auto-start option that is usually triggered when you insert the CD, you may have turned it off by error.\nIn windows explorer, right click your CD drive. In the properties>auto play Tab, check if play selection has been selected. If not, choose that.\nIf that is the case and even then it is not playing, try playing it from open file menu on the Win media player. If there is still an error, try re-installing Media player.

Wow, those are a lot of good questions...\n\nO-K.\n1)What kind of problems might occur if you tried to use an older CD-ROM drive or a CD player to play a CD-R or a CD-RW disk?\n\nSome older drives can't recognize a CD-R or CD-RW.\nThe best bet is that when you are "burning a CD-R or CD-RW that you will use on an older drive (or player), make sure to finalize or "Close" the CD. Older drives can't read a CD that is still "Open". The only problem with this is that once the CD is closed, you can't write to it any more.\n\n2)On a CD disk, is data written in concentric circles or in a continous spiral trak?\n\nA combination of both.\nA CD burner starts on the most inside trak and writes a complete circle until it finds the begining of the circle, then it moves up  one space and writes another circle, working its way toward the outside. You can tell this by looking at different CDs that you have burned. The ones with more data will have more burned area toward the outside of the disk.\n\n3) Can CD hold videoa data?(Explamation)\n\nYes, but not in "DVD" format.\nYou can copy any type of media file to a CD (mpeg, mov, avi, wmv, whatever) as data, but to play these files, you would have to open the files on you PC with a media player.\nBUT... You can use some files (mpeg2 / mpeg4, I believe?)\nto create a VIDEO-CD that will play on most DVD players.\nA VIDEO-CD in NOT a DVD, and it does not require a DVD+R to be created. You can burn a VIDEO-CD on to a regular writable CD.\n\n4) What does the X factor of a drive indicate? What is the specification of oneX?\n\nThe X factor, I like that!\nThe X stands for "times", like multiplication.\n1X = the absolute slowest.\n4X = 4 time "normal" speed.\n16X = 16 times "normal" speed\nAnd so on.\nObviously, the higher the"X Factor", the faster the drive will \nRead / Write / Erase-ReWrite.\n\nBy the way...\n1x for a CD means 150 KB per second\n1x for a DVD = 1.35 MB per second\n\nI hope this helps!\n\nGood Luck, and Happy Surfing!

If you have a DVD drive ( I assume you do) just use your windows media player...works flawless. Make sure you update it to the newest version so that you have the newest drivers and codecs available.

If all of the above suggestions don't help check if the CD you  would like to listen to is crippled. The music industry did experiment with different technologies to make copying of music CDs impossible. One way to achieve this is by not following the CD standards and adding certain faults on purpose. These faults are corrected by most CD players but not by CD ROMs in PCs.

If you have music in mp3 format. You have to just burn them on CD in current format(not audio format). The CD will work on CD player that support that format.

1) Get latest Windows Media Player\n2) Burn all audio files to a cd using WMP\n3) Go to Rip Music in WMP options and adjust audio quality (bit rate) accordingly\n4) Rip cd, files will be converted to bit rate

maybe the cd needs codec to play. Well you can download the codecs at http://www.free-codecs.net\nmaybe it's just an audio cd. not a video cd or dvd.
