Requirements regarding MP3 discs
There are many different MP3 formats. When creating an MP3 disc please
keep to the format information stated below. If you decide to use a different
format, you may find that the disc does not play, or the sound is distorted and
interrupted during playback. A typical MP3 CD contains a very large number of
music tracks, so it may take more than ten seconds for the disc player to read
the MP3-CD.
If you insert a multi-session disc, please note that the player only supports the
first ”session”.

general standard for CD-Audio and DVD-Video discs.

different blank discs, a different burner or different burning software.
