Audio CDs dont work on most CD players

[yeham]

Hi

I have a problem with my viao, when i burn audio CDs with Nero 6 or even sonic stage they dont work on most of my CD players but when i burn an audio CD with my other laptop using Nero 6 they work on all my CD players in the house!

any ideas?:smileycry:

Are you sure you're not burning MP3 CDs?
Also make sure you use CD-Rs not CD-RWs, as most CD players don't like them.

Thank you Kee-Lo for replying

Im burning with Nero on normal CD-R's and making normal Audio CDs not MP3.

Do you think i have a problem with my Viao CD drive?

[kee-lo_]

No as some HIFIs do not support CD-R

Probably a silly question but are you "closing" them.

The only time I used Soncstage it obviously didn't and would not work in my hi-fi.

I burned it again using Easy CD Creator, which asks if you want to close it and it worked.

yeah ive been closing them but still no luck!!!

Do you guys think there is a problem with my CD/DVD drive?

mmh.:smileythinking:

I use SonicStage 2.3 and I have no problems to play a AudioCD (burned with SonicStage).

But, I have an old, good Yamaha CD-Player(don't play MP3 and others, only normal CDs).

May be you burn the CD too fast ? ( sometimes, this is a problem for old CD-Players)

try to burn a Audio-CD with lower speed ( like 8*).

I never burn an audio CD > 4x

[yeham]

yeah ive tried that to but when burning at 4X the audio quality is AWFUL! the song crackles like mad. even tho they work on all my cd players....

if its worth anything the laptop i have is PCG-FR415M

any other ideas?

I have a PCG-FR315S and no problems.

I have a SONY DVD RW DW-U50A drive in my labtop. Have you the same drive?
