Hi, there are 2 settings for burning CDs - you can burn an Audio CD
(which will play in any standard CD player) or a Data CD, which is
basically a set of MP3 files on a CD disk.

The playback device would need to support MP3 or WMA file playback for
this to work, and many players (including car CD players) don't have
that capability.

On the dropdown menu below the Burn tab, make sure you've selected
Audio CD as the burn mode.

HTH
