Denon DCM 380/280 won't recognize MP3 discs

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

I work next door to a great bar which has either a DCM-380 or 280 in the
office. Some Denon 5-disc carousel player that reads CD-Rs, etc.

I use Nero 6 Ultra Edition (Nero Burning ROM) to create simple MP3 discs.

I've followed the instructions in the owner's manual regarding ISO9660, bit
rate, etc. I don't even use folders; I simply burn the MP3 files directly
into the root directory.

When I insert these discs into the player, it will not recognize my discs as
playable. Other players (and computers) have no problem with these discs.

I am nearly certain that this is a new development, as I've burned similar
MP3 discs on the same media and they worked on this player.

Suggestions? Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks in advance.

**No problem. The machine is working fine. It will not play MP3 disks. Most
CD players don't. Most DVD players will.

Try using 74 Min CDRs (not the 80 minute, 700 MB ones) that burn at
8-16X maximum. The player may be finicky with higher rated and more
dense CDR/CDRWs. I tend to avoid CDRW altogether as well.
