If you use AIFF and CDR disks and you have a problem playing you need a player, Almost all commercial CDs will play on anything, The trouble comes from the other formats and incompatible CDs. If you have a Mac compatible burner and iTunes you can't mess it up as long as you have AIFF files to burn.
Perhaps true in theory, but not in practice, in my experience. I never had problems with CDs burned in my old G4 tower with a Pioneer drive, but the slot-loading internal superdrive in my C2D iMac burns CDs that give heartburn to the player in my car and sometimes the old CD player I use with my main stereo system. As I said in my previous post, changing CDR brands and burn speeds makes a difference. I've never been too impressed with the slot loading optical drives that Apple uses in iMacs and laptops.
