lopburi3 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Have you tried playing it on your computer? It is likely MP3/wmv or other files which older units will not play but computers can. To play on a normal CD player the music has to be converted and burnt to a new CD in the format that the player can handle. Which in many cases would mean a CD with hundreds of songs can only provide a dozen or two for the old CD player format CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernova Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Popular audio formats distributed on the internet: AAC, FLAC, MP3, OGG, WMA. A traditional compact disc player only handles cd audio track (cda). What audio format are the files on disc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Put the CD in a computer to read the files it contains and have the computer display the full file names with extensions. What you want to know is the extensions (which is how they are recorded). A old CD player will not play most of the new types of music tracks but most computers will, or can be made to do so with player software such as VLC media player.
