Can anyone tell me why when I burn a CD using windows media does it play on the PC but not anything else
You may have license protection enabled in media player,
also make sure you cd player can play cdr's some cant

check in options -> Privacy then check if the Aquire license automaticaly is ticked

yup that's ticked, 'copy protect music' was ticked, could that cause it?

What speed did you burn it at? I regularly have problems if I burn a disk at max speed. Setting something "old" like 4x makes a working disk much more regularly.
Nope, didn't make any difference, still works on PCs but not in anything else
IMHO Windows' CD writing facilty is a law unto itself - 'files currently on disk/files waiting etc'. Yeuch. When I got my CD writer it came with Roxio Easy CD Creator. It may sound Mickey Mouse but it's simple to use for the newcomer (unlike Nero) and works very well for music, data or straight disc copying.
(Note that if you try to copy some software, eg games, you'll get a seemingly perfect copy that won't work. Apparently....)
Binned it reloaded Nero, burned CD, works a treat
Nero? Sorted then, congrats.
