Re: cd burning question



Has anyone experienced the cd-r not playing in their mp3 player? I have
burned music onto a disk and it played. And later added more music to the
same disk, which won't play in the mp3 player... only the first session
plays. On the pc, all media is present on the disk and plays on the pc.
Does anybody know why? and how to fix this? (if fixable.) It's worked b4
where I've burned a cd, then added additional files later w/ no problem in
playing it but for some reason, now any disk I've done only plays the first
session. Help?
