Which CD Players Can Play CD-R and CD-RW

[Roy]

Stand-alone machines capable of playing MP3 CDs are just coming to market for the holiday season. They'll start out rather expensive, but you know how that goes. Be patient.

[scotter]

you have to be recording them in .cda or i think .wav format for a regular cd player to read them if you are recording them to that format then ? /forum/smile.gif

Cd players are not capable of decoding the mp3 format. You must then record the songs as tracks. You will have to convert your mp3's to cda or tracks. Some CD players I admit can't even read CD-R or CD-RW even of you record your mp3's as CD tracks. I think its a format problem.

Good Luck!

Now that Ive figured out how to burn MP3s on to CDs(thanks to everyone on this site), I need to know why my CD player and my brother's portable CD player wont play it while my CD Drive in my PC does.

What determines if it will be recognized and play or not?

Anything special I should look at when purchasing a CD player to be able to play these discS?

Most good cd players will play a CD-R disk burnt to proper cd format will little problem. As for CD-RW, the only company that directly supports the standard for audio playback on CD-RW is Sony, and only with a expensive few select models. Unless the packaging says CD-RW support, it won't play them.

As for a cd based mp3 player, Pine Technologies has one ready right now. I not clear on the release date (might have already happened), but it can play mp3's directly off of CD-R or CD-RW disks. The inital cost is to be around $200 US. Not bad for this technology, considering I gave that for my RCA Lyra which uses expensive flash cards.
