Playback errors when burning onto Mini CD-R

[MelbMuso]

Hi guys,

 

I've just installed ImgBurn on a system using Windows 7 (32 bit).

 

I've burned an mp3 onto a mini CD, which has successfully played back on an mp3 compatible CD player (for the sake of this post, I will refer to as CDP1).

 

I then burned the same file as a .wav onto another mini CD, and attempted to play it on another CD player (CDP2) that only plays standard wav file CDs, and not mp3s.

 

The track that I burned has a duration of 3:51, yet the time on CDP2 showed as 4:29, but no sound was heard when the mini CD played. I tried playing the same mini CD on CDP1, and the same thing happened - 4:29 duration showed & no audible playback.

 

Because I'm a new user of ImgBurn, can anyone suggest how I can successfully play these mini CDs with .wav files burned on them? I need to burn 200 for distribution as soon as possible.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers,

Burn as an Audio CD and it should play on pretty much any CD-capable device ever made.

Thanks for your help. I wasn't aware of the "cue" files, which is what the problem was. Your step by step instructions were a big help.

 

Thanks again.

 

Cheers.
