Problem making audio cd

[tuesdaybarrett]

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.With using older ubuntu os such release 20.04 or 22.04 i had no problems making an auddio cd. I've been using Brasero, K3B and xfd to make a music cd. I have used Memorex brand as well as Verbatim brand in the past. The latest batch I bought was Verbatim from Walmart. I was able to copy music files to the disc. They will play on the computer cd drive as well on my stereo system. i tried to insert them into my car cd player. The player wouldn't accept the cd. Is the batch i got from Walmart just a bad one? Should I try another batch of Verbatim from another source? is it a software problem?any help would be helpful. Thx

Are you just burning the files to the CD-R or are you actually asking Brasero to create an audio-CD.

Many domestic CD players are now able to play copied mp3 or other audio files without bothering to create an audio CD, as of course, can another computer, but it may be that your car stereo is not able to do this and does require a proper audo CD.

When using Brasero I click on create audio files. Most of my files are ogg files. Then add files & then burn. I tried one disc as mp3 file. Either way it wouldn't play in my car stereo. I never tried burn image as way to music files on a disc. Would that work?

Sorry, but I've no idea any more.
In spite of still owning many CDs, I havent actually played one on a computer for years and few computers, including mine, have cdrom drives any more.
All of my CDs that contain music I want to keep were ripped to either flac or mp3 files years ago.

Burning an image is useful if you downloaded an .image (.iso) or to make a copy of a CD. Using a bunch of mp3/ogg files with an image doesn't make sense. I guess you could make an image/iso out of the files, but that would just be one more step.
Assuming you're burning true audio CD's and not data CD's full of mp3's, then it's most likely that your car's stereo is just picky about CD's. Welcome to the club. It's not very exclusive.
