Basically, make sure you choose Audio CD setting to burn in your burner program, do not choose mp3 disk or data disk. Use a CD-R to burn to, not a CD-RW. Burn at the slowest speed your CD-R is capable of. The slower the speed, the more reliable the burn result will be & more chance of it being compatible with normal home stereo CD Players new & old. Older CD Players including car cd players prefer the slower speed disks (example: 1-16 speed) & may struggle to play the faster type CD-R's that can burn up to 50 speed.
Choose a good brand CD-R to burn to. Do not find the cheapest, do not choose those made in China or Taiwan. Some of those are so poorly made that even if the burn process succeeds, and even if it can play .. probably after 6 months the CD-R will deteriorate in quality were it struggles to play, has noise & distortion in background, etc. Similar to using very cheap Audio cassette tapes only designed for speech, not music. Good brand CD-R's should last you many many years! (20+)
