CD/DVD burning problem ?

Recently ive not been able to burn any Cds,Nero 7 goes through all the process burns it but when i go to play it back theres absolutley nothing on it even though my stereo shows the amount of songs on the disc,its really strange as i have no problems burning my Dvds and there the same brand as Cds.Has anyone any ideas whats up with it??

    What type of files are you burning? Has the burn been finalised? Can you see these files when using windows explore?

    After you have burn the CD, where are you trying to play it? If your stereo can see the tracks, do these show up in windows?

    :confused:

    Have you played .mpg and .wma files on your stereo before? I would expect it to play copied CD's or .wav possibly even .mp3 files.
