Hi.
The CD format is worldwide. It's possible that whoever was burning
it didn't finalize it, that it's a CDRW (they won't play on most standard CD
players), that the disk itself is bad, or a number of other things. However,
these things could just as well happen to a disk recorded down the street. I
think your idea is a good one. Get it into a CD-rom and try to get the audio
off it as data. If it's bad in itself, use recovery software to get the data
off it.

Subject: Is There Any Reason Why A CD Recorded Overseas Won't Play on a
U.S.Player orVise Versa?
Dave's stepmother bought a cd in Ecuador and wanted to play it for us
before giving it to her granddaughter as a graduation gift. The disk
was bought at a school for blind and disabled students who performed
the Spanish music as part of a tour taken by Dave's stepmom and her
group.
When she put it into her very old cd player it seemed to spin but
wouldn't load. We offered to burn a copy or at least see if it would
play on our own player. When we got back home from our visit with her
we discovered that she somehow managed to give us the wrong disk.
When we called to tell her we needed to go back to exchange the one we
had for the correct one, she said that some of her granddaughter's
friends had experienced the same problem.
I'm wondering if the disk was "home-made" in the first place, so to
speak.
Has anyone heard of such a situation?
Pam
