How to copy music cd playable with any cd player?

Hello,
I have Win 7 Ultimate x64.
I have 2x dvd drives[A DVD ROM & Another DVD+/-RW]. How could I put a music cd [This is I would call the original bought from a shop] in my DVD ROM and put in a blank CD-R in my DVD +/-RW drive and then ?rip or ?burn music to this blank cd that becomes playable in any cd player-such as in the car or in any free standing cd players. I do not want music being first transferred to my music library of my computer HD.
In WMP under "more options" I selected to rip the music to-my DVD+/-RW drive [DRIVE E]. I put in the music original CD I bought in my DVD ROM [Drive D] So that music could be directly ripped from Drive D to Drive E without music files being first transferred to my music folder in my HD. I want to create a copy of my music playable in any cd player without any music being copied to my computer HD.
Now I choose to rip the music and the music got copied[ripped] from DVD ROM [D] drive to DVD +/_RW [E] drive without my music files being transferred [copied] to my HD. This happened to my liking but When I tried to ----
play the CD created in a freestanding cd player or the car cd player the music is not playable! But it did play music in my computer alright.

Then I did the same technique of ripping [from Drive D to Drive E] in MP3 format . I still could not play back the cd music created on a freestanding cd player. It is playable in my computer ok.

Do I need another program such a "Nero", "Roxio", or "Image Burn" to create music cd using Drive D to Drive E [without first copying to my music library in my HD], and that could be played in my car cd player or other free standing CD players?

Regards

Hello,

I have 2x dvd drives so that I could put a music cd in one DVD and put in a CD R in my RW DVD drive.
In WMP under "more options" I select where to rip the music to as my RW DVD drive.

Now I choose to rip the music and the music is copied from one DVD drive to RW DVD drive without my music files being transferred to my HD. This is what I want to do. I do not want it to be ripped to my HD.

However the CD created with the copied file play back music on my computer alright but when I put the newly created cd in a freestanding cd player the music is not playable!

I did select to record as non protected with regard to copy right.
I also copied in MP3 format and still could not play back musics on a freestanding cd player.

Do I need another program such a "Nero", "Roxio", or "Image Burn" to create music cd that would be playable in my car cd player or other free standing CD players?

You're burning the MP3 files themselves to the CD. CDs use raw data, not MP3 files (although MP3-CD players can read these). You need to burn the CD with either the "Burn" tab of Windows Media Player or any "Audio CD" option of burning software. In iTunes, you make a playlist, then select Burn. In CDBurnerXP, you use the "Audio CD" option.

So help me to understand. You have an original music CD. You want to make an exact copy of it, but you want to be able to play it in any CD player. I'm assuming the original CD only works on the computer. If you go into My Computer -> [Original CD], what do you see?

Depending on what kind of CD it is, you might have to copy files to your computer first. If it's just a bunch of MP3 files, you need to copy them to your computer and follow my previous instructions.

I use CD burner XP with windows 7 and it works perfectly, I think it creates an image file when copying but that's just temporary

Yes, CDBurner XP is great. But what I'm not understanding is why it only works on a computer if it's an original CD you've bought in a shop. If it's just me misunderstanding and all you want is two copies, copy with CDBurner XP.

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.

It is the cd where the music files had been copied to [this newly created non-propritary home copied cd] , only works in my computer but not in my car CD player or the free standing cd player.

Since I have two drives in my computer[one DVD ROM & another DVD +-RW, I in WMP, Under more options choose the music to rip directly from DVD ROM to DVD +-RW. The cd created this way, I found out, only playable in the computer and not in any free standing cd player or car cd player.
I wish to know if I can copy music in the above mentioned method and the cd created would become playable in any player?


On another note: From where could I get CDBurner XP? Is it part of Win 7 x64?

I am from UK. This would explain as to why in me not replying earlier.
Regards

theres a hot link >> in my post << to CDBurner XP and it's a free download :)

regards your unsuccessful burns something I found with burning MP3's to audio discs for "domestic cd players" is sometimes the bitrate can cause problems, I tend to convert to wav then burn them to audio

Google is your friend

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

Media player will do what your asking.
