I am using the Iomega Burn and Go Pro to transfer a file from my Cakewalk Home Studio 2004. I mixed it down to my hard drive, add it to my Burn and Go, then do a 16/44.1 burn to CD. What I end up with will play on my computer's media players, like Windows media player, Realplayer, etc. What it won't play on is my home stereo CD player,. It also will not 'open' straight from my computer CD player as it is displaying the message "please insert a disk into drive" message. Yet it will open if I use a media player. Why would the 2 CD drives not be recognizing it? How can I burn it so it does?

Burn and Go is apparently simply copying your .wav files to a CD. Consumer CD players won't read that. What you need to do is burn a Red Book audio CD format. Check the docs for Burn and Go to see if it will do that. If not, you need different burning software.
 
It does apparently have an advanced feature for redbook standard recording which I used. Still nothing. Maybe a specific setting needs to be used. Still not sure. I am doing this over and over to try and figure it out.
 
I finally got it. My settings were incorrect. Thanks for your suggestions.
 
Check in the settings and make sure the Iomega is the active disc drive, also be sure you are recording an audio disk rather than a data disk. If you have done both of these you should have no problem burning CDs.
