    When using MediaPlayer11, I can rip,burn,etc. but when I try to play cd in car or other media, disc is not recognized or labelled error. I have cleaned my system with prompt command sc /scannow, and no problems exsist. Restoring system did no good, nor did changing formats, any advice?

    Yes, I have burned quite a few cds before, and have never experienced this problem until now.
    =========================
    Please view the directory on the CD in
    question look at the format of the files.

    If the files are .cda the CD should play
    in your car CD Player.

    If the files are not .cda...you burned a
    Data CD and not an Audio (music) CD.

    One exception would be if your CD Player
    is compliant with .mp3 files you could
    burn a Data CD and it should play. And...
    you can burn lots more files on the CD.

    And...it's certainly possible that you have
    a hardware issue with your CD Burner.
    Might be worth a try to check with the
    support website of the drive's manufacturer.
