Burned WAV cd will not play in cd player

[kozikowski]

I do this process upside down. I burn home Music CDs and I play them on a crappy, portable CD player on the theory that if they play there, they'll play anywhere. Finding that one crappy player is gold. That's how we do client DVDs at work. We have an old DVD player that's very sensitive to errors. We've never had one come back that's made it past that player.

If you feel like it, continue to experiment until you make that one player happy. Almost all players accept home-burned Music CDs. Like I said, having one player dead fail is very unusual. How old is it and what is it? You suggest there's more than one? Same model and age?

The Car Test is not terrifically good because car players are very robust, but it is good as a general test. Most of them will not play anything but a "real" Music CD.
