144025 2003-05-14 08:00:00 I regularly download music from the internet. It plays very well on my pc and in my car. I can even split up the tracks to enable me to skip between them. However my friend has an Onkyo DVD/CD player and try as I might I cannot convert the mp3 files to anything that will play on his system. I have tried Nero, Sonic Foundry, Music Match and Winamp and I am just about to look at Audio Grabber. My friend tells me that he thinks that his player will only play commercial cds, not burnt ones. Any ideas? Thanks. Ironman (3784)
144026 2003-05-14 08:07:00 Many commercial CD - DVD players (particularly older ones) will not reliably play recorded media.

Forget about which program you are using (but assume whichever it is does convert MP3 to .cda / wav files) and try different media instead.

Dick Smith Electronics have Imation Audio CD-R, which have a slightly better reflectivity.

One of my DVD players will only recognise CD-RW and not CD-R.

144027 2003-05-14 08:09:00 i think your friend is right.. some cd players are quite sensitive to the reflectivity of burnt cd's.. some have very interesting coincidences - for example my friend's sony stacker only really likes sony cd media.. most other media it refuses to work with.. though he has found a couple of brands of media that do work.. IIRC imation was one of them...

so I would suggest you try different media as they'll have slightly different reflectivity, and maybe you'll come across a brand that your mate's player likes...
