Hi Roy,

that is very likely what the problem is if he burned the disk as a data
disk loaded with mp3s... modern cd players can decode mp3s whereas older
ones need the music in raw format which is what a wav file is... this is
also why you can put hundreds of mp3s on a disk and much less when they are
wav files...

then there's the burn speed thing, too... i always burn at the slowest
speed available so as to enable the disk to be read in a wider majority of
drives...

Bye bye!
