Data-formatted CDs can not be read in a standard CD player. Use a CD-R format instead. Your player may not like the CD format. What size CD-R are you using? Some players don't play well when given a disk capacity they're not expecting.

Check and make sure you are burning as "Audio CD" format. Many older players cannot handle CDs burned in MP3 format regardless of type of disc they were burned to while newer car stereos should play CDs burned as MP3s.

Additionally, many players cannot handle CD-RW discs. If you have one of those old players you must use CD-R discs. If neither of the above is your problem, it may just be that the brand of CD-R disk you are using does not work well with your audio player. This happens sometimes and is quite normal. Try a different brand of type. Another thing to try is to burn at a slower speed. Try burning a disk at 1x rather than 2x or 6x or whatever speed your burner drive supports.

Very often audio CD's burned at slower speeds will work in audio players while disks burned at higher speeds won't. It's been said that the laser encoding is somehow "clearer" when burning at slower speeds and this helps audio players, which often have a problem with home-burned CD's, to cope with the disks.
