    Turn your CD-Rs over; what color are they? If they're dark blue or dark
    green, that might be the problem. Some CD players have problems reading
    darker-colored CD-Rs, which audio CD players are known to have problems
    reading from (CD-ROM drives don't). Try using silver- or gold-colored
    CD-Rs; you can buy them in bulk (100 for $33!) at your local computer
    show/swap meet.

    Don't ever use dark-colored CD-Rs for audio, they're just fine for computer
    data though.
