Do you see any way that I could make that happen?


I use nothing but CD-RWs and I have never had a problem.


Are you using the same CD players he's using? And the same burner?
And the same media?

I use WMP to burn them.


The "burn quality" is a factor, and that has to do with the burner
and burner/media compatibility, not the software.

You have a problem with something else besides WMP or the type of CD
used. Maybe your WMP install is bad?


Something's going on there, but the type of CD media, the burner
itself, and the reader can *definitely* be factors in the
readability/playability of a burned CD. What I said about burned CDs
having lower reflectivity, and CDRW having lower reflectivity than
CDR, is a fact, and it's also a fact that that lower reflectivity
causes problems for some CD players.


So maybe the best move would be to try a different brand of media? It's a
LiteOn burner - model DH-20A4H - so perhaps the website will indicate brands
of CD-RWs that work well with it. (And then maybe I can actually find one of
those brands in the stores....)

The other alternative would be a different burner, which wouldn't be
completely crazy either. I've never been able to get the DMA to work on this
burner although I've got a question in to LiteOn about that; maybe they'll
have a solution. Burners are pretty cheap these days....

Are there any CD/DVD burners that have a particularly good reputation and
are also affordable and work with most of the major brands of media?
