Depending on the age of the CD player it might not support CD-r. All computers will read a CD-r disk but not all CD players do. Recording the disc at a slow speed helps. I keep a couple of different DVD players around to check DVD I produce before handing them off the clients. As DVD-r will play in the computer fine. But not on some home units so I have a couple of DVD players that are real picky about the disk's they will play if it plays on them then its off to the clients with the disk.

It is a "protected file" with a .m4p suffix. I'll try your suggestions. I still am at a loss to know why the burned CD would play in the wife's PC but not in a CD player. If it is protected, isn't it protected from being played on a PC?
