Hi! I'm very new to these forums and pretty new into Audiophilism... hahahahha. Well I just hooked up my dad's speakers and old CD player into my room. But the problem is the CD Player. It can read my burnt audio CDs, I can't and change to another track. Real CDs work and I can change tracks with them. The CD player is older than me... So around 13+ years old. Its very odd, the forward button makes the track go by about 10 seconds. And the only way to change tracks is to click a number (lets say 2) click play again and it changes. I don't know why, its reads my burnt ones perfectly and my portable modern CD player can read it and everything. Well thanks in advanced for your help.

there's not really much you can do, thats a very common problem of older CD players. Burnt CDs are a little more difficult for audio CD players to read, so players that are ten plus years old and that weren't designed to read this type of media often have trouble reading CDRs. You can try cleaning the laser lens, but I doubt that will do much good.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:
