I can download music from my cassette player to the
computer using MusicMatch, then transfer library to My
Music, then it burns the CD,,,but the CD doesn't play
back after burning. Could it be burning in MP3 and not
standard CD format, how do I adjust my settings for this?
Or any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

Make sure that you are burning an AUDIO CD and not a DATA CD. MusicMatch
will show you the time available on the empty CD (80 minutes) as opposed to
the space available (700MB.) MusicMatch will convert the mp3 files to cda
(audio CD) format on-the-fly during the burn.

Also be sure to "close disc" (or words to that effect) so that no more
material can be added to the CD; and use CD-R media, not CD-RW. These two
details are important if you want to play the CD in your home audio CD
player.

I haven't used MusicMatch to burn a CD in many months now so I can't tell
you precisely where to adjust those settings, but they are available options
prior to burning a CD.

Regards,
Ian.
