Generally you have convert whatever format it is into ".wav" format before burning audio cd...unless the software program does it for you automatically or...is it possible that this songs are copy protected. Like I said I am just guessing.
Hi,
I burned two CD's in iTunes and neither will play in my CD Player. They play fine on my laptop in iTunes and Windows Media Player.
Here is what I did:
I created a playlist and placed the desired songs into the list.
When I burned the CD I selected an Audio CD with a 2 second pause between songs.
Burned the disks.
One of the disks only has one song on it, (it's for a talent show that my daughter is doing a human video to on Saturday).
The disk I used was given to me and I have no idea what type of disk it is but it is the same kind we use at church to record the Pastors message to give to people to listen to after the service, so they should work.
I have not tried it in other players yet, that is next on my list.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! as I need the one disk for tomorrow morning.
