I'm trying to burn some audio CD's and I always run into the problem that there
are some CD players that just don't want to play the CDs that come out of my burner.
I'm burning them in raw on a Plextor drive, so it _shouldn't_ be having problems.
Apparently the CD's are not strictly compliant with Red Book specs though. (from the
documentation CDrecord uses CD-DA rather than Red Book, I'm not quite sure what the
differences are)
This is quite annoying when I give people a CD and it turns out their palyer can't
handle it. (Once there was even a CD-ROM drive that wouldn't play it!) Does anybody
know of any solutions for this?

I trying to think of ways that the hardware could have
an impact and am failing to think of anything. Does
that make any sense?

If CD-DA isn't Red Book, then I wonder what is. My
impression has been that Red Book is simply the method
by which the audio files are burned onto the disk.
There are two methods; A, Disk at Once (DAO) and B,
Track at Once (TAO). Red Book is DOA.

I just use my own scripts to burn CDs. I've never had
a problem. What program do you use to write the CD?
And if you post a TOC file maybe someone here can spot
something wrong with it.
Nobody else responsed which is why I am. Not because I
really know much about it. Although, I never have
problems with the CDs that I burn.

Not that I'm an expert, but I have had some problems with certain brands
of blank CDs in certain audio CD players, have you tried a variety of
different brands?

We did an unscientific test of a lot of CD-R brands before committing
to a brand for some music CDs by one of my bands. Memorex were good
everywhere. TDK was good too. I-something was poor, as were all the
ones that were darkish blue on the laser side.
G'luck...

Try setting the burn rate to 1x. Sometimes it doesn't do a good copy at
higher speeds.

Thanks for asking this. I have exactly the same problems and it's really
getting me down. I'm using a cheapo CD burner, so I suspect firmware
problems.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I just got a new spindle of CDs -
'silver' Philips ones. dunno if they'll be any different from the sony
pthalocyanine ones. Probably not. We shall see. The 'blue' 'green' and
'gold'
use different inks AFAIU.
