Something Odd

I bought my sister a new CD player for Xmas and burnt her a few CD's for it and they play fine. But when she tried to burn CD's for it, nothing that she burnt would play on her new player. Yet everything that she burns plays fine on everything else in the house.

She's burning with a DVD burner, cuz that's all shes got on her PC, has anyone else ever had this happen to them?
 
That will depend on the software used and the type of format those are burned for. The other players accept a wider range of disks like dvd/vhs combos will also play vcds and audio cds with the more recent players accepting dvd and cd rewritables. A small portable walkman type player has a limited range of file and disk formats. The program used is the problem.
 
I don't know if its software related, both computers are running Nero 7, granted the only difference between the two computers is one is running XP Pro and the other XP Home. I don't know if it would make that big of a difference.

But I will try another program to see if there is any difference.
 
I've burnt audio CDs before that would skip on my Jeep's radio. I used another program and the same disk(CD-RW) and it worked flawlessly. I'd suggest giving DeepBurner a shot. Typically I have very good luck when making audio CDs using it.
 
I had a DVD player once that would read everything except freshly burnt CD's. I could use old burnt CD's that I had listened to on other devices for a week or two, but freshly it just wouldn't read. Maybe the reader in your DVD player is odd like mine was? Was it a lower end DVD player?

Its not a DVD player that's having the issues. Its my sisters shelf system having problems playing Audio CD's burnt from her DVD burner.

BTW, Deep Burner didn't help, same thing happened.
 
The cd player is too outdated apparently. It's simply not going to recognise the disks burned with the dvd burner due to the difference in burning processes between the two drives. A lot of this is also seen with older dvd players that won't recognise vcds or cd/dvd rewritable disks. The newer technology applied to players allows for the wider range including disks burned on pcs. You could get her a cd writer for a present sometime.
