I've burned several CD's of MP3 music to listen to on my bike. They all worked well, except for one album I burned to CD. All the other music on the CD plays fine, but the player skips over this one album as described in the original post. It has me baffled. The album plays fine on my PC or MP3 player.

This may seem weird but if you burn a song and there is "album" art with it, it seems to want to skip over. If you right click the song and look at properties and select a tab that I think says album... If you see the artwork, click on it and hit delete. ...then they will burn. Weird but it works

Make sure the CD is "finalized" or "closed".

That's the most common reason any burned disc will not play in a radio, especially if it WILL play in a computer but not the radio.


Personally, I don't burn via iTunes...I use a different program and just set it up as a standard "Data Disc" and just load the MP3 files and burn it.

This worked best for me, I used Toast...but it's been a few years since I've burned any CD's at all. Now I just use an iPhone/iPod/mp3-player-gizmo.

It's probably pretty well already out there, but if you're bored: http://www.johnscrip.com/html/blog_f...y_davidson.php

Thanks for all of the suggestions... I'll investigate. I removed the artwork from my Phish playlist and am burning that disc now. This has me puzzled though, as I have other CDs that have artwork and don't skip.

Anyway, I picked up a 4th gen iPod Shuffle today and will likely forego the CD experiment.

Wow... the latest Phish CD (minus the artwork) plays just fine. No other changes made. Thanks.

And I imported a few Pink Floyd CDs as MP3 at bit rate of 320 kbps and sample rate of 48.000 KHz and burned them as a data disc. File sizes were larger, so I could only fit 55 songs (5 hours) onto a 700 MB CD-R... but it sounds great!

Thanks again!
