What is it exactly in an audio CD that you buy from the store that allows it to play in my cd player when an audio CD-R will not? Thanks

99.9% of the cd players on the market can play a audio cd-r (if burned properly). Older cd players (of any kind) do have their troubles.

"Retail cd's are pressed, wheras cd-rs are dye basically!" This is what I was looking for, eventhough I don't know how it works. Thanks.

It all depends on the speed u r burning them at. The faster you burn the thinner the die line on the cd, hence many standard sterio lasers will not be able to read them. as a rule of thumb try to avoid burning over 8x. Computer lasers are hardcore and can read much finer. By burning at a slower speed it also means that if you acidently scratch the cd the die lines are more prominant and you have less risk off scratching off that important 1 or 0.

Ye i suppose burn speed would be a big enough issue but unfortunately some dvd/cd players just can't play cd-r's! Man that sucks!
