Hi,
I am a new XP user. I have burned music on CD-Rs
through the XP media player and I have found that the
burned CD-Rs will not play in any other player than the
XP player.
They won't play on a common CD player?
My question is why?
How do I burn music CDs with XP so they will play in any
CD player??

The XP burner WMP uses doesn't finalize by default, which causes older CD
players to not be happy-
