Windows 10: make an audio cd that will play on cd players

How do Imake an audio cd that will play on a cd player? Got songs from computer to cd with no problem, but will not play on cd player, or in vehicle cd player.

Audio CD's not playing

You seem to have a missing entry in the features list, there should be a + with Windows Media Player tick box. Unless you have some corporate version of Windows 10 with restrictions of some sort.

It is your Media player that does not play Audio CDs, these are Data discs not files.

Mine shows correctly as in post #9 that is how File Explorer represents those CD Audio data Tracks with WMP as default.

On my Laptop, with 5 listed Music players.
Windows Media Player, IrfanView(with plugins) plays the Audio CDs, but not VLC Player(apps version), Toshiba Media Player, Groove Music.

I don't have iTunes. That you will have to check.

Groove Music is in the MS Store(free as you would expect), should be showing as Installed, but of no use in this case.

 

Audio CD's as Empty

Easy question. A new Audio CD cannot be played on my laptop. My laptop informs me it is a blank disc. The CD does play in a typical home CD player.

Facts:

• Asus X750JB
• Windows 10 ~ 64 bit
• All drivers are updated
• CD has same issue on an alternate Asus X750JB
• CD is not a ripped disc
• Other Audio CD's play without an issue
• CD not recognized by all programs: File Explorer, Windows Media Player, Nero or any player I download for the internet
• The Audio CD was checked out from a local library

 

Formating CD for Old Standalone Player

As Ghot advises, an audio CD is what you want so it will play on ANY CD Player, I have burned dozens of these in the Napster era from downloaded MP3s to play in my car's CD player.

The CDBurnerXP software suggested by fireberd is good, I've used it before. Among its many features is the ability to create audio CDs.
