I purchased a new remote CD burner which plugs in to my laptop and using Nero 8, it burns CDs that will play on my ten year-old DVD/CD player connected to my TV, but they won't play in my ten year-old car CD player. I'm using 52X 700MB CD-Rs. I've tried burning at different speeds but they still won't work.
I'd appreciate any ideas.

Do you know if the car CD player ever played burned CDs?
The brand of CD can make a difference. TY and Verbatim are generally good quality.

You may want to make sure you are burning them as aiff files. Not all cd players will recognize mp3 (or any other files). I think it is called "red-book" format.
Thanks for the responses.
I ticked the box for finalising.
But I am playing CDs that I burned on the Nero Express programme I had on my old PC. The files were all mp3s either from my own CDs or downloads from Audio Galaxy. (That old!)
It gets as far as "CD T 01" but that's it. But it will play on my DVD/CD player in the house.
I'm using Tesco CDs , maybe that's the problem?

You need to download a file converter programme. I use Freemaker to convert MP3 to WAV or CD type files. That is your problem.
Thank you for downloading Freemake Video Converter

Thanks for that, much appreciated. I'm having a go at that but it seems to be taking an age to convert a dozen tracks to WAV.
It's been at it for about ten minutes and I've only got about 25% of the first track converted. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Last time I used Nero (many years ago now) it converted the mp3 or whatever files into the correct format on-the-fly as it burned the CD.
It us a quick process so you must be doing something wrong.

I've canceled that conversion as it's taking far too long. I could find a WAV converterter on it. So I fround OnLine convert another free site that does do WAV conversions, so I'm having a go at that. Thanks anyway for pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks for that. Nero isn't a problem it burns quite rapidly it was "Freemake" which was taking the time. So I cancelled it. Converting to WAV files using "OnLine Convert" was quite quick, but again, they'd play on my laptop so presumably also my DVD/CD player but would not play in my car.
I've since tried it with Windows Media Player which actually worked!
A point of interest. My original CD/DVD burner which was an add on I installed in my old PC cost me around £100 more than ten years ago.
The CD burner I'm using which just plugs in using two connections to my laptop, was an an eBay purchase a couple of weeks ago, at £5.99 including the leads and postage!
Thanks everyone for their help, much appreciated.
