That's what I'm thinking, I burned the CD's using iTunes, but I used

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).
There was a format war here also. There were CD+R and CD-R. Most
disks nowadays are -R.
You may be able to find a small pack of +R and try that, But I think
you will wind up burning through more money trying various brands
hoping to find one that works than a new CD player would be.
