Q The player can’t read songs and I get 'No disc' message. A CD readability depends on several factors:

1. CD-Media

2. The Burning/Recording Speed

3. The CD surface

When you create a CD, burning speed does matter as well as CD surface. When you create a CD at a high speed, the data writing may not be reliable. In that case, it is recommended to create a CD at a lower speed or to use brand name media.

Q Can I add songs to the CD I already burned?

A Using multi-session or packet writing allows you to add songs to the CD.
