There are several different things that could be causing the problem, so working out which one is the cause is just going to be by experimentation.


It could be:

  • the brand of the disc
  • the batch of that disc - i.e. perhaps some, or all, of that batch of discs isn't as well made as the rest
  • your CD player just doesn't like that brand
  • the CD player doesn't like CD-R discs, or perhaps likes some but not others
  • the files you've added to the disc. Are you sure they're in the correct format?


There may be other reasons, I have no way of deciding. Sorry I can't offer better advice, it's just not a clear-cut problem.
