when you burn a cd, it doesn't necessarily format your music for you-when music exists on your computer, it is more than likely in mp3 format. But the format that exists on music cds isn't mp3-it is a higher quality audio called CDA (Compact Disk Audio). So in order to play your burned CD's on a stereo that doesn't support mp3(and if it does, it will say on the front of the stereo) you need to burn them with a program that converts mp3 back to CDA. I recommend iTunes, as it will usually do it automatically. Hope this helps!

Depending on what kind of stereo it is, it may not be formatted to read all types of CDs. For example, some older CD players can not play mp3 format music.
Similarly, when you burn a CD, you need to make sure that you choose the correct format for playback. Most CD burning software can help you choose the right format.

Copying music cds on a disc usually won't work. Try ripping your cd's music to a file then rip those to mp3 or burn those songs that you want to listen. Just choose "create audio cd" and burn mp3s to a cd. It should work then and it is not illegal as long as you own the cd or music that you are downloading.

Your stereo might be too old to handle it. Or try using another program to burn your cd's.
