CDRW recording problem? or wrong media type? or a bad CD player?

[mghani71]

I have been having this problem since my first CD recorder. I had a Philips 2x SCSI CDR, I recorded lots of song compilations on branded as well as unbranded media, but for some reason the recorded CDs would play fine in some CD players but, would keep on searching for tracks, when I would try to play on some other CD players.
I bought a new Acer 8x4x32 internal EIDE CDR about a few months ago, and am having the same problems. There were no problems at all with pure data CDs (with both CD recorders)

Would a certain kind of CDRW solve this problem? Or is it a generally acceptable problem? Or is this problem related to something else?
A response would be greatly appreciated
Best Regards

Are you recording music onto CDRW media and to playing them in your CD player?
Some CD players just don't read CDRW's, actually, I've never tried burning it onto CDRWs, only CDRs, does it work? Do you just burn it as a regular CDR?

Are you closing your CDs?
Audio CD's require CD's to be closed because there is track/TOC information at the beginning and end. SOME players will read it and get stuck at the last track, others just won't read the CD.

I am sorry, I forgot to mention. I am using CDRs not CDRWs for recording music. And I am playing them in normal Home/Car CD players. I also DID close the sessions

Do the audio cd's playback in your burner? or in any other cd/dvd-roms?

some older brands of cd players can't play cdr media, it's just the way it is....

I just burnt a compilation for my parents that works fine in everything bar the cd changer in their car. Its an old cheap sanyo unit. The disc I used is a 50c no name super el cheapo.
I would guess it is a problem with the cd player rather than your burner or media.
