Hey folks,
I just heard from a sound guy that the quality of cd burnt from a computer is of a lesser grade than those pressed for commercial purposes. He mentioned that cd players and even DVD players that are. A few years old usually have issues reading CDs burnt from A computer.I'd switch to an mp3 player instead. Hope everythings works out.
