I used to make CD's on my Mac G5 laptop but it died, the repair costs weren't worth it (or maybe they were??)

So I bought a barely used HP desktop from a friend, with Windows 7 and Windows Media Player.

For whatever reason I'm able to burn cd's but I can't play them on anything but another computer.

My Mac CD's played anywhere, any car radio etc.

I've tried recording at every speed available with no luck. I read online that if you record at lower speeds - 8x, 16x - that you have more success. I had no success. I've used Maxell, Memorex, Sony CDs. Same results. I burn it under "Audio" - not "Mp3" of course.

Is my Windows 7 software outdated ?

I downloaded iTunes onto my pc with no success.

Beyond shelling out a crapload of money for a new/used Mac(and throwing my PC out the window), does anyone know software I can download or purchase to guarantee my CD's will play?

I have friends who still listen to them and they want various Prince/Live/Funk mixes for their car and their spouses.

Thanks for any info.

(I need to leave for work soon but will return later tonight to read or respond to any replies...thx again)

As far as the i Tunes situation. What happens when you try to download it ?

A work around....

Load your music to flashdrive / thumb drive; give it to your friends they can burn their own CD's.
