I just got a new Compaq Laptop with Vista Home. When I burn a CD, it will only play on my laptop. Is there a setting I need to change so that they will play on a regular CD player as well?

You'll need to make sure that you're not burning it as a data CD - you'll generally get the option of a music CD (which will play on all CD plaers generally) or a data CD, which will only play on computers.
If you're making the CD via the drag and drop into the CD folder, then you'll have this option. If you're making it in any other programs, again search to make sure you're not making a data CD.

I'm probably not helping much, but maybe it's regionalized? I have similar problems playing burned DVDs.
the funny thing is, I can BURN a DVD on my laptop, but not PLAY it on my laptop, because of the North American regionalization of WMP.
BUT, I can play my burned dvds in a regular DVD player.
Try playing your cd in a dvd player, because I suspect those are less restricted.
Odds are, it's some kind of music piracy protection that's douching you over. Maybe the CD is encrypted to jargle any reproduction or something like that? Was the genre of your CD int'l music?

There are a number of possible issues here:
1. Not all home and car CD players recognize burned media discs. It is possible that your CD players do not play CD-Rs - or if you are using CD-RW, they may only read CD-R.
2. You may have burned the disc as data rather than audio. When you burn it as a data disc, the files remain in their current format, and can fit to the disc based on the disc's total capacity. When you burn the files as audio, they are converted to .cda (not .wav as stated above) and will only fit to the time-allotment of the disc (80 minutes, for example as opposed to 800MiB).
Some standalone CD players DO read data CDs or CDs loaded with .mp3 or .wma files.

It doesn't matter what format the music is in when it's downloaded as long as the program used to burn the CD is able to recognize the format. Most, if not all, burn programs recognize .mp3, .wma, and .wav files - and can easily recode them to .cda. Therefore, your statements make no sense.

Some CD players require that a CD be Finalized to play. Make sure this option is checked when you burn your CD.

Make sure you are burning an 'audio CD' and not just copying audio files to the disc (ie: making a data disc )
otherwise it may be a compatibility issue. Look up the burner model online and check its compatibility status with burned audio discs.

It did not checklist in a properly matched format. attempt living house windows media participant to burn. It converts into an Audio CD format earlier burning. additionally obtainable that the gamers you have do not play burned disks, older ones do not each and every so often.

It is not the computer that is doing that--- I am guessing you are downloading free music? Well you are downloading the wrong type of files-- probably wma and mp3 and unless you have a brand new exspensive deck in your car and also a new stero in your house you equipment doesn't read those files--- also make sure that you are burning an audio file- a good program for this is roxio

In order to play in the car you have to convert the file to WAV before you burn it to a CD. use this converter I am using.

make sure you burn it in audio cd format instead of data.
