30403 2002-01-09 03:24:00 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)

This will more than likely slove your problem.

Will have to remember Orac's advice when I have a go soon.

I have a HP 9140 and use the HP Record Now software, an 8 meg download from the HP site, instead of Adaptec's software.

I have had no problems with any cd's I have burned, they play on my mothers old CD player, my car and my home stereo. I don't recall having to do anything to change the record spped when doing a disc - it does it automatically after carrying out a write speed test.

Creating a data disc or cpy of an existing disc has also been fault free.
