recorded cd not playing in car

[Raqui]

I have windows xp with a cd burner.. I also have the windows media
player...and before I get started with my problem, yes, I DO know the
difference between re-writable cd's (cdrw) and non-re-writables cd's (cd-r)
That's not the issue. I bring this up because I posted before and some
people thought I might not have known. I liked a cd that a friend had so I
copied it, cd to cd. It also went into the media library. When I tried to
make a copy from the media library for my car, it didn't play on the car cd
player. It was one continuous file, instead of like 9 files for separate
songs, and also, I found out it will play on my computer, but it won't play
in my car, although other cd's that were burned plays in my car. My question
is why? One person thought it may have been a multi session copy protected
cd, and perhaps my PC only copied the first session. I wanted to know more
about that, but the person hasn't posted back. Thanks.

Can you try the CD on a home player? I'm just wondering what speed you did
the copy at. I've had funny things happen over 16 times.

Some CD's when played on a computer, load up their own software these days,
sometimes secretly adding a codec and others just running a player, which
suggests that the cd has some strange configs.

I did have one CD that in its original state locked up one player.


I tend to use Clone CD, the old version, for these as it seems to cope
better.

I cant be sure but if you open the CD in windows explorer
you might find the files are .wma . Your CD player will
only play .cda files. your windows media player will only
convert to .cda and then burn them to disc if you have a
CD burning program installed, if you have then open WMP
go File > copy > to Audio CD it will show the convertion
first then burn. When you rip the songs from the CD it
converts them into .WMA . if you have roxio or nero they
have a disc copier that copys the disc exactly 1 to 1.
Audio discs must be CDR and not CDRW (I know you know but
others may not) . If you dont have a burning program
then "Deep Burner" is a great free program and burns
audio CDS fine I use it. Windows explorer will burn data
to CD but not Audio.

Did you burn the cd as a data cd or an audio cd? If you want to play the disk
on a regular cd player you need to select copy as audio cd. If the cd is copy
protected you may have to record all the tracks as .wav files on your hard
drive and then burn those files on to a disk making sure you select to copy as
an audio cd and not a data cd. Also, since you've mentioned that you were
trying to play the cd in your car cd player, I recently bought a new car and
was reading up on the cd player that came with it. It clearly stated that it
would only play commercial cd's and that cdr's and cdrw's would not play. The
only reason I can think of for this is maybe the reflective surface on a cdr/w
isn't as bright as a commercial cd and the player can't detect it.
