Burn a CD on my MAC that will play on CD Player?

Question

I have a Mac G4 PowerBook that has CD burning capabilities. I am able to burn CDs, but they will only play on my computer. It SAYS it should work on PCs, MACs, or CD-R compatible stereos. I've tried the various formats. Any tricks? Thanks...

It is an OSX operating system.
I have tried using CD-R types that work on my computer.
I have tried to use various file types, including AIFF, WAV, and MP3.
I have used iTunes.
I might be technologically inept.

Answer 1

Burn your CD as an audio CD

iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Burning
Select "Audio CD" and choose your gap. It will then allow you to burn an audio CD of up to 80 min.

Answer 2

If the cd's won't work in your cd player, it means the player was not made with the capability of playing cd-r's. Try using memorex cd-music cd's to burn with. If that doesn't work, then get a new player.

Have you tried the cd's in another computer? Did it work? If not, then you're doing something wrong. What OS are you using? If you're using OS 9+ with Toast, make sure you're not saving it as data.

If you're using OSX, then make sure you're in iTunes, or something similar. Dragging and dropping doesn't save the info. It only creates an alias.

Answer 3

your cd should be a cd rewritable (CD-RW) and your participant ought to no longer play CD-RW. i had an same difficulty. my cd does no longer play on my participant even if it performed on my brother's participant. if that is the case, your participant might want to play CD-R (cd recordable). also, examine the guide on your participant, it ought to no longer be properly matched with some sorts of CD's -(sony, memorex, etc.)
