If it is an old computer, then it only plays cd's that have data. or it does not have a sound card so you won't be able to hear the music.

Are you sure it's a proper cd. Proper audio cd's are made to a standard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Book_%28audio_CD_standard). If you have a cd made to a diffrent standard then chances are the media company that produced the cd have placed Digital Rights Management (DRM) software on it to stop it working in a PC.
If you can play this cd in an ordinary cd player and your pc can play other cds then it's the cd that's the problem. Blame the music company that published it.

it is impossible that may assist you with in basic terms the innovations you have given. Your situation descriptions encompass issues like "it wont burn" and "it nonetheless wont artwork". Do you get an errors message? if so, what message? If no longer, what occurs once you attempt? What does "won't comprehend CD-R/W" advise? Does it advise that once you positioned a clean in, you get an errors? Does it advise it won't be in a position to study already-burned CD-R/Ws? Or what? while you're in severe difficulty and desire help, you could spend a jiffy explaining the subject.

make sure you have the drivers for the cdrom installed correctly. check the system properties for this. located by holding down the windows key and hit the pause/break key. select hardware tab and then the device manager. look for yellow marks by anything. if so then there is a driver problem. double click it to see what the problem may be and try reinstalling drivers. you can also highlight it and at the top is a delete button. delete it and it will find it and install drivers automatically.

something you downloaded erase your codex.
you need to find codex package and install it.
WinDVD and NVidia have decoders that will work.
