Music CD

[solo]

Probably shouldn't be saying this, but I've just copied my first music CD today. However, while it plays o.k. on the PC it's not recognised in any of our normal CD players. I suspect that I've copied in the wrong format or something. Can anyone give me some tips or point me in the direction of some online info.

Should play on any modernish player, some old ones cant read cdr's though.
How did you copy it? I assume you are copying it to save your original getting damaged.

If you've just copied the files to the disc then it won't work. What program are you using to copy it? Make sure the disc is "finalised" or it won't play on your cd players.

I used Nero Express to copy the CD. I think I'll bung it in the PC again to see if I can sort the problem. It was one of the kid's CD's that they're always fighting over so it was either copy it or smash it. Wish i'd went for the smash it option.

So do the AOL ones that seemed to appear in every newspaper/magazine/leaflet for a while, or unsolicited through the post. They seem to have stopped doing it so much now, since the advent of broadband...

Windows media player, lets you copy / burn / save

Maybe a silly question but were they MP3 format which your PC would play but a "normal" CD player would not ?

Oy! That's my gag!!!

(I even remember editing the naughty word in that pic so I could use it on here...!)
