burning a itunes purchases on a blank CD-R will not play on a cd player

i need help on burning an audio cd on a blank disc i have burned 4 discs on Verbatim CD-R discs and none are working on my cd player and i used the audio format and cd text because i would like to keep the text for the music and i haven't had no problems what so ever on burning a cd before

here is what i used on the CDs

Red dead redemption

Zack Snyder Justice League (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) which needed 3 discs but still messed up on me

It sounds as though either your CD player cannot play CD-R discs or you haven't finalised the disc.

Depending how old your CD player is, it may not be capable of playing certain types of CD. Don't forget, an audio CD is a particular type of disc in a particular format.

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.

The thing is the disks are done it’s just they won’t play on my CD player for some reason but one of them will play on a console and it will detect the information so it doesn’t make any sense And I don’t think I’ve had any problems with my CD player as I have burn CDs in the past which was music CDs anyway that I purchased

The format I used was an audio cd which was how I burned the music on the cd it was going to be an audio cd that’s basically how I was going to have it that way I can listen to it on my CD player and I would also leave the cd text that way the information is also on there so I can tell what I am listening to
