A lot of you are burning Data files instead of plain .cda files.
Data files will not play in an ordinary disk player unless it has the option to play mp3's.
An ordinary .cda disk can only contain 10-12 pieces of music like a CD you buy at the shops. A data CD can contain up to 300-400 mp3's. You must make that distinction when you are starting to burn a CD. you must either burn a data CD which will contain mp3's or you can burn an ordinary Audio CD (usually all the files will have the extension .cda) and it will (or should play) in your home or car CD player.
There is a big difference in the two types of files you can burn.
You have to select either data or music CD when you begin the burning process.
I know most of you know this already but others are less clear on what they are doing.
I hope this makes things a bit clearer for at least some of you.

Dear all,

thankyou i have just read your advice on transferring music to wmp and i am about to give it a go. ive been trying for about 2 hours

Trust me know where your coming from my player looks totally different than the one they show

Thanks very much for your help

I have read all the posts on cd burning with limewire and wma players. No matter what I try, when it comes to burning the cd, it tells me that there is a problem with the songs I want to burn! I have gotten them from limewire and from friends; what is up with this? They all say mp3 format.

Make sure they are 'real' mp3's. Check Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see) to be sure none of yours match those sizes as they are probably not real mp3's. Play all the songs you wish to burn, see if they all play ok.

May be a problem with your burner codecs not being up to date & not reading the mp3 format properly. CODECs list for Movies/Audio/ Alternate players / Video help forums/ video-mp3 fixers. Personally I use a dedicated disk burner program.

When burning an Audio CD, always burn at minimum speed possible. If possible, choose a low speed disk, not one of the super fast 45 x speed ones.

Well thought-out guide!

I have a question when I upgraded to pro my widows media stop playing and now real player is playing my music and videos and it does'nt play all of them. It says that real player can't play certain files. How do I switch back from real player to windows media.
