Yes, my player played the CD they sent just fine, I played it and made
a cassette from it, since I had to send the CD back. I was also able
to import that same CD into my computer and then was able to burn a
disk, but only in the mp3 format. I then could use that burnt disk
and imported it into my iMac, also. And I could play it there. I could
not burn it in audio format. There it gave me the medium write error.
But yes, the CD that came played fine on both of my disk players

Does the original Mp3 disk play in your CD player? Yes or No.
Yes then the CD media you have could be the issue.
No then the CD player does not support burned Mp3 disk’s.
First question.

But Ed, what I do not understand is that their disk does play on
that player. Why would their disk then play and the one I made would
not? That is my question. I played it and made a cassette from it.
That will work for awhile, but when they start streaming I will be
in the same fix.
So, what do you suggest? I need to solve that problem somehow.
It does not matter what the disk is burnt on, the endproduct in my
computer, the burnt disk, simply won't play-- period. So I have to
find a way to just dub from disk to disk , or do something in the
computer to produce a different end product.

Marta, what you are dealing with is standards. Some units do not
play burned CD reliably this can be caused by the CD burning media
or the chip used in the player to translate the 1’s and 0’s that the
laser burns into the ink layer that burned disk’s use for recording.
The standard is :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Book_(audio_Compact_Disc_standard)
Not all manufactures follow the standard so a burned disk can have
issues when trying to be played.
The computer will work because a computer manufactory such as Apple
expects at some time that a burned disk would be used.
A stand alone CD unit may or may not expect a burned disk to be
played in the player an so may use a chip set that will play Stamped
disk’s which is how bought from the store CD’s are made using a
glass master disk but will not play a burned disk.
Also not all CD player will play Mp3 disk’s this requires a more
expensive chip set than the basic audio chip set and a lot of CD
players do not include this or charge a higher price to compensate
the use of the more expensive chip set.
For a basic CD for a certain number of track’s iTunes does fine. In
your case they had to burn the file as an Mp3 file for it to fit on
to the
CD do to the size of the file. They could not burn it as a straight
Audio CD due to the original size of the audio file.
740 meg bits is all that fits on a Audio CD and the mp3 file would
be larger than the size of the CD after it is transcoded to the
larger file size of the Audio CD format.

Yes, an MPEG audio file. Sorry. This all has me so confused, and it
drives me crazy when I can't figure something out.
I don't do much importing from the iTunes store. They were always
protected files and you could not even share one song with the
friend over the computer. I rather bought my CDs and then imported
them if I wanted them in my computers.
So I never paid much attention to copying and playing on a CD
player. But now I am confronted with making copies that play on an
outside of the computer unit.

Always forgetting something. I guess I should mention that with
importing the CD, it means importing it into my iTunes, I have no
other means to burn a CD, but import and burn. In fact, checking out
the way this CD came into iTunes is as MEG audio.
