Why do my burned CDs say 'no disc' in players?
Asked by

I recently burned a couple of CDs, one with MP3s and the other with WAV files, but when I try to play them in my old CD players, they both show 'no disc.' I've tried two different players, and one of them even claims to support MP3 playback. It's puzzling because the computer reads the CDs just fine, showing all the songs. Could the issue be with how I burned them? I'm not too tech-savvy and could use some guidance.

You mentioned using WAV files; however, those players you're using are meant for MP3s, so that might be the problem. Look for the option to create an 'Audio CD' in your burning software.

Double-check how you're burning the CDs. Make sure you're selecting the 'Audio CD' option instead of just burning the files. If you burn them as an MP3 CD, they might not play in older CD players that only support standard audio formats.

You might have just burned the CDs as data files instead of audio. Pay attention to the options when you burn, and ensure you select the 'audio' option.
