...player.? I really think it is a problem with the CD player in my stereo system because it does not seem to work properly all the time.
The burned disk WILL play in my computer and in my car CD player, but not the home stereo CD player.
MY QUESTION IS : Is there a certain format i should use during recording ?
I down loaded audio tracks from YouTube music vids using both [ listen to youtube.com ] and [ Tune nabber ] . They down loaded in MP3 format and on the [ listen to you tube ] site ,i chose " Audio CD format " . I used CD-R blank CD`s.
Is there a different format than MP3 that should be used . Or do think it is just the sketchy CD player on my stereo ? It just does not seem to recognize the cd at all, makes no sound, nothing.

You need to author an audio cd, which you can do easily using windows media player. Just pop in the blank CD and choose the "burn" tab. a blank playlist should open on the r/side of the WMP window. Using your mouse, drop the songs into that window and when you've got all your songs, hit the "burn" button. It should take 5 minutes or so.

The stereo is probably okay - the problem is that many players won't play MP3-CD, only Audio CD. That shouldn't be a problem, since each CD can still hold about 80 min of music, and CD-R is so cheap.
