Thank you very much for your excellent answer. I will try it as soon as I can. :D
RE: disc type. I've tried so many tyoes in my computer to burn, but the only ones that seem to work are Sony CD-RW which are $5.00 for five CD's. I've tried the stack-type, and also less expensive ones, but they did not work. I wish I could find a good solution, since I intend to make a lot of copies of my CD.

Thank you again for your effort,
Cosby

Cosby,

I use TDK CD-R80 I buy them by the 100 on a spindle - cost in the UK c. £11-12 per 100 i.e 18-20 US cents per disc. On my third batch now and have had only two duds that turned into coaster/beermats.

I selected TDK on the basis of using their SA tapes with excellent results in my Nakamichi tape deck over may years.

Just to add another possibility.

I have a Sony home DVD/CD player Model No: DVP S325 that will not play any home recorded/finalised DVDs & Audio CDs. It will only play commercially recorded ones. :(

However, I also have a £19.99 Alba unit that will play absolutely anything I record. It will even play one of my audio cds that's been recorded on a CD-RW! :D

Thank you everyone for excellent information. I will look into all of it, and I'm very appreciative! :D

Mr. Camtechman, why do you think your Sony player won't play those CD's?? It's almost like these machines are haunted or something. :lol:

Thank you!
