cannot play cd-r recorded from pc (windows media player)?

Question

I burned a cd-r using windows media player but it will not play either in my car or my home stereo. the latter one states"no cd in drive". Is the format wrong, and is there a way to solve this so I can transfer my playlist music to listen in my car?

Answer 1

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.

1) Try a different burning software ... I dont like windows Media Player for burning, I use Nero Burning Rom

2) Try Different Media (A Different brand, some burners dont like certain brands of cds)

3) Check that all the required system files are there, this can be done using Nero Drive Test.

4) 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.

I mentioned Nero Burning Rom above, get it from www.nero.com

Older CD players have trouble playing home-burned Cd-r. There is nothing you can do about it. Most CD players won't play MP3 s. Check if you have burned them in the right format (the default for media player) then try you CD-R in a newer player at a friend or in a shop.

I had a similar problem with my moms car. How old are the cd players? My moms was from 1999 and it wouldnt play.

Try and buy some fuji film cds. They are higher quality than others and played amazingly in my moms car cd player.

Someone also told me to use CD plus R.

My little cousin became on my pc quicker or later, and apparently she by some skill downloaded QuickTime onto my pc without even understanding it. Everytime i tried to hearken to mp3's or watch mpg's, the Quicktime participant kept taking drugs particularly of abode windows Media participant. So all I did became visit regulate Panel, then I uninstalled the Quicktime software from my pc. yet in case you want to save Quicktime particularly of uninstalling it, then i believe you are able to open up your abode windows Media participant and set it as your default participant.
