    Just burned some songs onto a CD-R disk.
    Plays fine in the computer that burned it, but is not recognized in my car CD player or any other PC media player.
    Why?
    PC that did the burn is a 64bit Vista. Other PCs are 32bit, if that helps.

    Hi

    What format did you burn them as?

    Would need to burn them as CD Audio, burning an MP3 disk is not good unless the player accepts that format, in the likes of CDBurnerXP choose Audio Disk and drag and drop the music files to the Drop box and it will convert and burn.


    This is advice in using Windows Media Player 10 but is same for 11 HERE

    Was burned with the built-in CD/DVD device on the machine as MP3.

    I agree with Halo. Many CD Players do not recognise the ".mp3" format and the data has to be Ripped to a ".WAV" file type. Once they are in that format you can burn them and play them on "Most" CD players.

    Was the disk "finalized" ? If you just dragged and dropped files to it maybe it didn't get finished (writing the lead out which finishes the burn). Cause when you say other PC's can't read it I'm guessing the disk wasn't finalized.
