That's what I'm thinking, I burned the CD's using iTunes, but I used CD -R blank disk and it may be that the Toshiba just won't read -R disks. What would you recommend as a substitute for the -R disk?
This sounds like you're burning music onto DVD discs rather than CD discs? You can't play any DVD discs in any music CD player. The term "- R" (pronounced "minus R") is a DVD term, so if you're using "-R" DVDs, get some regular CDs, also called "CDR" (pronounced C-D-R "see-dee- are", for Compact Disc Recordable). As Bruce said, some older music players have trouble with any CDR discs (meaning home recorded CDRs, as opposed to OEM retail manufactured CDs). Stay away from re- recordable "CDRW" discs as they seldom play on older music CD players.
I think the key here is what Bruce said, "Make certain that your iTunes prefs are set to create a CD-Audio disk, and leave the track and text settings unchecked." and make sure you're using a regular CD disc. If it won't play, it's likely your old music CD player is incompatible with recordable media.
