Backups on CD play in MP3 player but not in computer

[Kidd343]

Hello everyone,

I used to backup all of my stuff to blank CD-r before I bought my external HD. They all worked fine whenever I needed to access any archived files. Now I'm transferring them to my external HD and somehow a couple of discs read as 0 bytes with no CD title name. I tried using the CD in both a regular CD-rom drive and DVD burner, and they both read it as 0 bytes. I know that shouldn't be because I have lots of stuff on these two CDs, so I put it in my MP3 boombox to see if it will read it. Sure enough, it finds the MP3 files that are burned in the CDs (it has mixed media burned in them). What gives?

Thanks!

Anyone please?
