Why does my music CD burned from my Apple Mac only show up as data on CD players?

Hi I’m trying to burn a music cd from my apple Mac it seems to burn but when you try to play it on a cd player it’s just coming up as data and no music. I’m new to the apple Mac so if I’m doing something wrong could someone help please. Thanks

How exactly are you burning it? What steps are you following?

Simply copying music tracks to a CD in Finder does not produce a playable disc, it only produces a data disc.
