CD-DA format

[brergo]

I am having problems playing an audio CD I created (using a standard CD-R) in a standalone CD player. When I play store bought CD's with the CD-DA logo they play fine. The manual for the CD player says "This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identification logo as shown here. Other discs may not conform to the CD standard and not play properly." The logo shown is the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo below. My question is, can I buy CD-R's specifically designed to play audio in CD players that would have this CD-DA logo?

A cd-r is a Cd-r. the only thing it may not play is MP3.

Yes they make what is called Audio CD-R’s that are supposed to be more compatible with audio CD players. You will pay more for them because there is a copyright royalty added to them. But in all realty I have never had any problems using standard data CD’s. Your issue is more likely your CD players ability to read burned CD-R’s. How old is your player?

The CD player is actually my daughter's and is not that old. It is a Disney Boom Box. We bought it last year.

You are right it’s BS, although the Audio CD’s were originally made for the Home stereo CD recorders. Most would refuse to record on anything but “made for audio CD’s” they read a code on the disc and if it was not there they would not record. But those days are long past, and all new equipment will burn and read standard CD-R’s. Now it’s just a way for the record company’s to suck some extra dollars out of consumers.

From what little info I can find on the Disney boom box. It seems that a lot of people have trouble with it reading anything very good. So I would assume it has relatively cheap components in it. So it may be real picky on what it can read. I would try using a different brand of media and also try burning at the slowest speed your burner can.

Home stereo CD recorders , Yes this is a whole other thing.

I was thinking of trying another brand of media. I will also try burning at the slowest speed. Thanks.
