First be sure you recorded as an AUDIO disc.\nFinalize the disc or it will not play\nCheck the manual for your player, some of them will NOT play RW discs.

You have to make sure your audio recording burn to the cd is in audio cd format (cda extension), latest window media player can handle the job.\nAnother thing is you can only burn the track to a cd-r not a cd-rw to play on regular cd player and older cd drive.

The mad dog CD-RW most likey is for mac or is not compatible with dell or your USB speed is not fast enough. Check to see if it is USB 2.0

Make sure the CD you are using is compatible with your CD-Burner.\nSome will only work with CD-R or CD+R. Most recent ones will take both and also CD+-R

Use Real Player to play the Cd, add it to your library, and specify in the options you want it saved as an MP3 file. Then copy the relevant file from your library folder.

3 possibilities\n1. You are using dvd+rw when the drive only recognizes dvd-rw\n2. Auto run is turned off completely on the drive itself\n3.  Sonic Record does not have the right aspi driver to burn the disc\n\nIf its 1 then try a different media\nIf its 2 right click on the drive from "my computer" select properties and go to the auto-play tab and run through all the available actions\nIf its 3 then search around both the manufacturers site as well as sonics site for updated aspi drivers.\nIf it still doesn't work then I would suggest trying XP's built in burning capabilities or a different program like Nero to burn the CD

Well the first guy isnt to bright, there is no cd+r only cd-r ... you are thinking of blank dvds. But yes if it is old it may not be capable of playing a recorded cd. Make sure you are burning it as an audio cd because unless you have a very new cd player it will not play Windows Media Format, if thats not the case follow these steps.\n\n1) Try a different burning software ... I dont like windows Media Player for burning, I use Nero Burning Rom\n\n2) Try Different Media (A Different brand, some burners dont like certain brands of cds)\n\n3) Check that all the required system files are there, this can be done using Nero Drive Test.\n\n4) Run a drive test to see if it is performing properly (These can normally be downloaded from the manufacturers website) If it fails return it to the store.\n\nI mentioned Nero Burning Rom above, get it from www.nero.com

I'm assuming you want to play music on the CD player...correct?\nIf so, there are several variables you need to be aware of.\nFirst: compact discs differ for data and music.\nIf you plan on playing songs from a CD that you burn in your computer, then you must burn your music to an audio formatted CD.\nSecond: as to why your DVD player will play the disc but not your CD player, it could be that you have a high-quality DVD which will play a wide variety of discs.\nThird: you might try burning a DVD with tons of music on one disc to give yourself hours of music, as opposed to a 70 minute maximum on a CD.\nA note about DVD's: when you buy digital video discs, they come in a "minus" or "plus" format.\nThe label will read as such: "DVD-R" or "DVD+R".\nYou might check your player to make sure you are buring the correct disc format.\nSee link for further information.

I assume your using the Windows OS. Go to Control Panel > System. Select Device Manager and Right Click on the CD Drive. Pick Properties and ensure that the Autoplay box is checked. Some CDs don't have an autoplay on them and have to accessed form the drive itself. You also don't say whether they are music or data cds so this is a guess as to what the problem could be. Hope this helps to resolve it

most cd burners come with software to make them work you may need to reload the drivers, if you dont have the CD go to the manufacurers site and download them. if it works (plays cd) but does not burn you need the burning software usually "Nero" many times it is easier if you cant fined the disc go to www.pricewatch.com and buy another copy usually like $5

If you don't really need this database and the point is that you're going to use this RW once again - just use NERO's (or whatever CDRW-soft you use) feature "clean CD-RW". Tadam! Here we have a brand new CD-RW ready for burning once again.

A cd-r/w will only copy cd/r and cd/rw ..It sounds as if you only have a dvd player--not a dvd writer installed on your system..you can copy the two types of cd's,though

Do you have USB? If so just buy a USB external CD drive and it should plug right in and work. \n\nYou might have to install a driver but it will come with the drive you buy.

Don't use Windows Media Player.  That's for burning audio CDs.  You're making a data CD, so use Windows XP's built-in data CD writer.  \n\n1. Pop in a blank CD-R.\n2. Wait for the computer to recognize the disk and select to open a folder to write the files to.  Alternatively, you can open the CD-ROM drive through My Computer.\n3. Once opened, simply drag the slide show into the folder.\n4. In the folder, go to File->Write these files to CD\n5. Follow the onscreen instructions and just sit back and wait.\n6. When finished burning, test it out and see if it works.

Try using other free cables for the CD-RW\nboth IDE, and Power cables\n\nor maybe it is something wrong with the master/slave setting\n\ndunno u didn't give much detail

You need to create an autorun.ini file and place in root folder.\nSo if your cd drive is x then it will go under x:/.\n\nThis is a sample file.\n\n[autorun]\nopen=start &#92;start.htm\nicon = M@gnet.ico\n\nHere you need to replace "&#92;start.htm" with your requirement.\nspecify the winamp playlist file.\n\n"icon" is optional.\n\nSince you want to autorun mp3 files.\nWhat I will suggest is to create a playlist by adding all the songs in winamp. Then save the list.\nNow open that list file in notepad and replace the drive letter with the cd drive.\n\nNow burn the data cd along with the playlist and autorun.ini file.
