burning CD's

[Charles Hallenbeck]

I have been happily burning CD's here on my Debian GNU/Linux system, 
kernel 2.6.12, both data CD's and audio CD's, and they all can be read 
or played just fine on my computer's CDROM drive.

But I wanted to play one of the audio CD's I made on a standard 
commercial CD player, and guess what? It won't play. Is there a trick or 
secret I need to know? Can others burn audio CD's which play on standard 
CD players?

Here is what I do. I have the device specified in a config file, so it 
does not have to appear on the command line. The speed is set there too, 
but everything I burn tops out at speed 4 no matter how the speed 
parameter is set. My cdrecord command line looks like this:

cdrecord -tao -audio -pad <list-of-wav-files>

The messages seem correct, and as I say, the resulting audio CD plays 
fine on the drive that burned it, but not when I take it downstairs to 
the family room and pop it into the stereo. What have I overlooked?

TIA,
Chuck
