Ok First, Dont just copy them onto disk like you were saving some work files onto disk.

Do you have Nero or any other CD making program, Aslong as you have, when it gives you the wizard, Select Audio CD, Instead of Data CD. Aslong as the CD is formatted as a Audio CD it will work but it will not work as a data CD.

a Audio format CD can take a total of 80 minutes of music, it goes on time, and not on file size

Best place for WMA is to just do it thru media player, under the createcd/burn tab.

Because otherwise you would fit over 100 songs on one CD and CD players would become prone to a form of the millennium bug...which would lead to a world meltdown of computers...

Good to see sarcasm is not lost on your nobby.

Is the disc a CD-R or a CD-RW?

CD players read data off a CD in a different way to that of normal computer data.
They are in effect, simply higher density records, with metal in place of vinal (sp?) and a laser instead of a needle.
Most modern CD players can pick up normal data off them as well, to show track title etc. but the music is still stored differently.

The density of normal data and audio data is very different, mostly because of the differ in time between the advent of the two types, by the time data CDs were out, the density on the disks had vastly improved, but due to compatability, they had to keep the old version going for audio. (I'm probably wrong on all that)

Just get an mp3 player :p.

CD-R's are use once only, so you can't "format" it. It's either new and usable, or old and...not.

ok well i put it into the wrong drive :lol:

I turned 1 disc into a data disc and put on an Elvis song to try.
didn't work.

got another disk and wrote the track using WMP burn and it did work...
Though now for some reason, it wont let me write anything else onto the disc...like it can't recognise it!

read up.

you have to do it as an audio disc (unless your CD walkman can play MP3's, which some can)

and cd-r's are one use.

both these things have been said :p
