Why cant I hear my burned cd on a regular cd player?

It works on the computer when I put it in, but when I put it in a cd player, it says there%26#39;s only one track. And you can%26#39;t hear it. What%26#39;s wrong with it?

Answer:

You may have burned it as a data cd, rather than an audio cd, which would allow it to play on your computer, as it can read the data, but not in a regular cd player. Not all burned CD%26#39;s are interchangable with all cd players. Some cd players, especially GOOD ones, won%26#39;t recognize the lighter blanks.

Try a cheap cd player, or hooking up a boom box to your typical stereo. It%26#39;s possible that you burned the CD in MP3 format and unless you have a CD player that recognizes MP3%26#39;s it%26#39;s not going to work. You probably have it in MP3 format, which most old CD players can%26#39;t read. If you have a CD player in your car, it should work there. maybe your cd player doesn%26#39;t support MP3 format. You might have to have a certain format for the player. For example, some cd players will not play CD-RWs, so you might have to use another type like CD-R. It is not compatable. There are different ways to encode sound. See if your computer program can convert the files to MP3 or MP4, then encode them. Well every CD player reads codes and turns them into music that you hear. In the digital world that is 1%26#39;s and 0%26#39;s. If the cd that you stick in there does not have a readable code the cd player will not be able to read the cd. Therefore the music won%26#39;t play. It%26#39;s like if you try to read a chinese or italian book, whatever language you can%26#39;t read, you won%26#39;t be able to read it. Most car CD players are sophisticated and computer drives are universal. Thats how you get the difference. Same thing with DVD players, but with playing DVD%26#39;s the DVD%26#39;s are the ones with the blocked codes so you can%26#39;t view or burn them unless you have the right stuff if you know what I mean. I would tend to believe that you did not specify breaks when you set the tracks up.
