Can someone please suggest what I may be doing wrong?

First off let me say that I am new to the CD burning thing. I use NTI CD Maker 2000 Professional. Works great for duplicating CD's and has been very easy to use for that purpose. BUT when I extracted a bunch of tracks from various CD's as wave files on my hard drive and then tried to record them on a single CD, it recorded fine but won't play on my home stereo cd player. It plays just fine on my computer CD player under winamp though. I followed the programs instructions for how to do this but I must have done something wrong and I can't figure it out. Suggestions?
Thanks

Assuming that you made the audio CD correctly, the problem might be your media. You're not trying to use a CD-RW disc, are you? You might want to try a different type of CDR and see if that works or not. Or you can try your CD in another player.

I don't think it's the media, but you never know. I thought about the other player thing but will have to wait til the wife gets home as her car has my only other cd player. I've been using Memorex CD-R 700mb 80minute media. It has worked well for all of my copying needs just not on this audio compilation so far.

Some older home and car audio systems don't play back discs recorded at high speeds very well. That may be the problem. Try like 2x or 4x. Also, as squirtle24 mentioned, CD-RW discs have even more problems. Try a 75 min CD-R.

I suspect, however, that somehow the files just didn't get recorded properly. Double check to make sure NTI used the *.wav files instead of the *.mp3 files. If that's not the case make sure the CD isn't just seeing them as audio tracks instead of *.wav files. This could happen, I suppose, if you told NTI CD-Maker that you were recording a "data" CD instead of an "audio" one.

Hope this helps!
