First off, this reply is written supposing that you meant that your DVD player WON'T play the burnt audio & that's why you using your CD player instead. If that's the case here's my opinion.

It's been engineered into these units NOT to play 'burnt' audio, or so it seems. It does not matter if you use a 'stand alone' recorder with Digital Audio CDR's OR burn them on your computer with the cheap CDR's.

I'm pretty sure that they are forced (by some regulation) not to play this type of CD for copyright enfringement reasons. Assume, that they are forced assume that you (we) are bootlegging!

Some of the less expensive DVD player manufacturers, such as APEX, ETC. boast that they'll play the Burnt stuff AND burnt MP3's. I do not own one of these types because my Yamaha CD player plays burnt audio fine & I have found no reason (other that for sh:ts & giggles) to play them elsewhere.

I've heard that there are some sites that tell you how to hack around this issue. If you find some, please email them to me, I'd love to read up, but have not activley persued the subject.

Hope this helps & remember, it's just one persons opinion.
