That means you try to burn too much. Verify the DVD capacity against the files size you want to burn.

I think.

what software are you using to Burn ?

What speed are you burning at, sometimes you need to slow the burn speeds down to get a sucessful burn

I am pretty sure you have to convert the files so Copy and paste will not work.

So has qhn has said use Itunes to burn the CD

I have not used a CD-RW disk in some time but I think formatting it is only used to drag and drop files to it, and not to create an Audio CD for play back on a CD player.
which perhaps is the reason your getting the "insert a blank CD" message

Get a copy of either Nero or Roxio CD Creator and erase the CD, use those programs to make the CD.

so you recommend burning instead of copy n' paste?

and can i use roxio creator de? i am not sure which tool to use...

i have mp3 files on the cd-rw, and i go to play it, and it is just loud static... shouldn't mp3s play on here?
ans why would these files not work on cd-rw, but on cd-r? isn't the difference just that cd-r is not re-writable?

Try using this:

As far as media concerns you must check and see what type of disks your player can support.

When you copy and paste with a CD-RW disk it more like a disk drive not a CD ROM

The Burn process (in this for an Audio CD) the CD is formatted to be compatible with a CD player along with the Audio files which are converted into a format which can be played on a CD Player.

Copy and Paste does not do any conversion
