1. Burn at minimum speed possible.

2. Most CD Players will NOT play CD-RW disks. Some of the very new types will. Some dvd players will, computers will, but majority of cd players will not play cd-rw disks. Thus choose a CD-R disk to burn to.

3. Make sure your iTunes preferences have burning set to Audo CD & NOT Data or mp3 disk.

4. The better quality disk you get, the longer it will last, and better the quality will be. Some disks are cheaply made & do not play back well with audio cd music burned on them (have distortion in background). Some disks are poorly made & their oxides wear out after 6-12 months (become harder for the cd player to read, may skip songs, develop background distortion which grows with age.)
