I am new to creating CDs and maybe I am not doing something right.
We made a CD with music that was created on ACID 3. But when we tried to play it in our kids CD Player it will not play. Please, can anyone help?

Thanks

Two questions ... What speed did you use for the burn? Is your kids' CD
player an inexpensive model?

I discovered that audio CDs burned at faster than 4x have a lot of trouble
playing on cheaper players. Sometimes they skip badly (like a scratched
record), and sometimes they don't even register as a CD at all. Oddly
enough, my 12 year old Onkyo portable plays 16x CDs just fine, but a
$30 boom box i bought at Wal*Mart last month won't play them. So it
doesn't seem to have any relation to the age of the player, just how
much you paid for it ;)

Try creating the disc again at 4x and see if that helps.
