There could be one of these reasons for it.
1. You might be copying it on a non-writable CD. You can copy songs only on a writable CD. Check that first.
2. Does your CD player also writes CDs? A CD player may not necessarily write/copy songs, it needs to be a CD writer. C heck that too.
3. If you are using a writable CD and also a CD writer, then do u have the required software to write the CD? Thats really necessary and you need to install a CD writing software like Nero.
4. Lastly whats the format of the songs that you are trying to copy? Is it mp3, wav, or plain audio files. You will not be able to write audio files just like that.
Pls check the above and hope its helpful to you.

Make sure the cd player is compatible for mp3's. Also, i have found that the cdrw are the best discs and most player friendly. Also, as far as i know copying music can only be played on a pc. To transfer music to a disc to be played on another piece of hardware requires burning instead of copying

There could be a number of reasons:
1. you copied the music in mp3 format & your cd player does not play mp3.
2. you coped the music as a dater file.
Put disk back into computer then open it, you should then be able to see if it's music or data, right click if it's a music file then properties and see what format it in & come back with more info.

There are different formats for copy.
What speed is your computer? Is it a hardware issue? Slower computers sometimes have trouble making good copies.
Mp3 will only play on mp3 players. Mp3 will play on dvd only if the player takes dvd mp3.
Normally, you should be able to make an audio cd that plays on ordinary players. But, you can fit more on an mp3 data disk.
It depends on what kind of player you have, what kind of computer you have, what kind of hardware you have, and what kind of software you have.

Many old CD players can't play burned CDs only stamped ones. Many recent players can't play MP3 (data) CDs only music CDs.

Its been my experience that when this happens the person has made a data CD from their music instead of an audio one. Your software should have both options. Make sure you're selecting audio or music CD instead of data.

The CD is probably copyrighted. You need to rip the CD tracks to mp3, wav, etc. first. Use CDex (link below).
Also, you may need to burn the CD as an Audio-CD to be able to play in most CD players.

How are you copyig the CD's? You have to make sure that you burn the cd as a music/audio cd so that it burns them as mp3 and not mu3. You can use musicmatch jukebox or Nero for this.

You might not have a CD Burner, or didn't install the software for it.
