30370	2002-01-09 02:48:00	I recently installed an HP 9140i CD writer and have tried both the supplied (HP) software and Adaptec's Create CD. My understanding from both programmes is that a music CD made using these programmes can be played on any CD player. I have been able to play some I have burned on my domestic CD player but not on my car's CD player. Neither will they play on a friend's domestic unit. What is the likely reason?	Guest (0)
30371	2002-01-09 02:57:00	The likely explanation? Someone on high is having a good joke at your expense ;-) Burnt music CD's are funny things, some players just straight out wont play them, and other times you will get one particular CD that wont play in one particular player, even though that CD works in other players, and other burnt CD's work in that player. Try changing CD-R brands, Ive heard rumours that its the colour of the CD so you might want to try a different colour, although Ive never experienced this at all. If none of them play in the players, you may just have to accept that your car player wont play CD-R's	Guest (0)
