How to copy music cd playable with any cd player?

You shouldn't have to install 3rd party software.

Media player will do what your asking.

Would you mind telling as to how to do it in my WMP?

only works in my computer but not in my car CD player or the free standing cd player.

If the files you recorded are in MP3 format, then the CD Player reading the files must be able to play MP3 files. Almost all modern day CD Players play MP3 files, some older players won't. If your CD Player(s) doesn't say it plays MP3 files, then that is the problem.

Another alternative to CDBurner XP would be something like IMGBURN (which is also free) to image or copy the disc if your wanting an exact (Lossless) copy.


But Im confused.

If it only plays on a PC as it is now (for whatever reason), the copy will have the exact same issue. You just making a 1:1 copy, and whatever issues the original has, the mirrored will too.


You could also rip the CD to your Media library, and burn a CD from those MP3s. It will be lossy, but if you rip at 320kps youll likely not notice the difference.
No 3rd party required.

Download IMGBurn and install it. Put the original cd in the drive and choose "Create image file from disc" After image file is created, put blank cd in drive and choose "write image file to disc" choosing the image file you just created. There you go.

Hi Product FRED,
The original CD that bought in a shop plays in all mechines-computer,car,& freestanding cd player-ok. There is no problem.

The original does play fine in a cd player for him. Re-read the posts.

Alright, misunderstood, but what he was saying also was that when he attempts to make a copy, the copy only works on his PC.

That's because he was ripping them to either mp3 or wmv format using WMP and then burning the files to disc.

Hi Product FRED,
The original CD plays without any problem in a cd player. It is only copied cd fail to play ina cd player.
I have just tried to copy the music tracks from the original cd put in my DVD ROM and selected to Rip to my E drive that has the DVD+-RW : format in MP3 and Audio quality 320kbps.
A copy created in the R cd plays the music on my computer but when I put this R CD in a cd player no music is playable.

My inference is that I can Rip the music from DVD ROM to DVD +-RW without first riping to my HD. However the music copied in such manner is not playable in a freestanding cd player.

I could first rip the music to my HD and then burn to a R CD in WMP and I know that will allow me to play the newly created cd to play in any player other than computer. However my wish is not to rip music to my HD!!

I have in the past utilised Roxio to copy music fro DVD ROM to DVD +-RW and able to play back on any players.
Like said earlier, I may need to get Img Burn or similar to do the copying.
Mine is x64 version of the Win 7 and hence CD burner XP may not help.
