Question about 'How do I use the built-in CD burning in Windows XP?'

I have a question about How
do I use the built-in CD burning in Windows XP?:
I recently bought a new PC with WinXP. I don't know if the OS is the cause of my
problem, but here is the problem:
on my old PC I burned mp3 cds using DirectCD, just making a normal data file. My
mp3 cd player recognized these and functioned just fine. Now I have a new PC and
when I try to burn a data CD with mp3 files on it, using either DirectCD or Easy
CD Creator (data project) the CD is unreadable in my mp3 CD player. If I pop the
CD into a computer's CD ROM drive it *is* readable and all the data is there.
So my problem: why is my mp3 CD player not recognizing the mp3 CDs burned on my
new PC? (BTW, the player still works fine and recognizes the cds I burned on my
old PC. And, just to make sure it was not a player fault, I tested out my cds on
a player at the local computer shop, and had the same results as my one at home).
With about 5 cds in the trash bin so far, I'm getting a bit frustrated. If anyone
has any ideas, that would be a big help. Thanx.

Check the MS site for patches - there have been issues about CDs from an XP machine
not being readable by other machines and they cam up with a patch...

I'm not sure if this works for everyone, but I found that getting decent cds under
XP is as simple as dragging-and-dropping the files you want from your windows explorer
to a cd-burning-drive with a clean cd in it. If everything is compatible, windows
will automatically make the cd 'open session' read/write (i think the terminology
is correct) and burn everything on-the-fly.
Using the above method I have yet to burn a coaster. Perhaps it will work for you
too.
