Unable to read my burned CD

Aurmezier -

Hello,
I burned several audio CDs using the DVD/CD drive of my laptop with Windows Media Player, and when I try to play them in my car's CD player, they don't work! It shows "error," or with another CD, there is only one track, but the music doesn't start.
I tried several times, putting less music on the CD, but the result is the same!
When I put the CD back into the PC and open the folder, a .wpl file has been created and my music is in a folder called "other." I don't understand why a file was created when the CD was supposed to be blank...
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I don't know what else to try :(

Thanks in advance!!

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 75.0.3770.142

    Hello

    From my experience, Windows Media for burning is not great, but a CD player in a PC and in a car is not the same at all. In any case, you need to make sure that:

    You select "Burn an Audio CD" in WM before burning.
    And that it is indeed a CD-R since CD-RW, etc., is not supported by car players most of the time.

    Best regards

    Hi

    How did you proceed exactly?
    <underline>

    With Windows Media Player, it's better to extract the audio tracks in MP3 and then burn them as a simple data CD to play them in the car radio or better on a USB stick.

    If the car radio supports MP3 of course and/or has a USB port

    Hello, thank you for your response.
    It is indeed a CD-R and the audio CD option has been selected.
    Which burning software could be better than WM?

      As mentioned by kaumune, where do the audio files come from originally and in what format?
      Also, does your car's player support the MP3 format (and which one)?

    I have already burned CDs and they have worked on my CD player.
    The music comes from YouTube converted to mp3 via an online converter.

    Convert to WAV? I will try then.

      In WAV? For a car radio?

      As I told you, MP3 files are not audio tracks

      You need to burn them as data onto a CD, not as an Audio CD

      As already requested by madmyke, which car (make, model, year) and which car radio?

    It's all good. Problem solved. The setting wasn't on audio CD, I thought I had changed it...
    However, I have another issue with burning. There are certain tracks that won't burn during the process. As a result, they get removed before burning, why?

      If they come from the same source and are converted exactly into the same output format before being burned, there may be DRM (protections), that's all I can see.
