I can't be sure about your RCA player, but I can play MP3s on my DVD player, and have them in folders. All I do is is to create my MP3's on the computer, put them in folders, then use CDBurnerXP (a good yet free CD/DVD burning program) to copy the folders onto a data CD.

Is the SC400 connected to your computer? How is it connected?
What are you recording? your voice? speaking? singing loudly? shouting?

Forgot to ask - roughly how long is the actual track that you want to process?
Any idea what the spec, or age of your computer is? how much RAM?
