Problems with burning a CD.?

Question

Hi, I just burned some songs to a Sony CD-R. The CD plays on my computer and my sister's computer but when I put on my '97 stereo system and my '04 trailblazer cd player the CD won't play. Why won't it play in those places but it only plays on my computer and my sister's computer?

Answer 1

You might have used the wrong format for the music.  Computers recognize and play a variety of music formats.  However some CD players (especially the '97 stereo system) only recognize "audio CD" files and do not play .mp3 files, etc.
