You have to consider how the data is recorded on the disk.  A CD-R is 
different from the commercial CDs and CD-RW is different again.  If you 
want a disk to play on everything, then you go for a commercially made 
disk.  Next best, is CD-R, but there's no guarantee it will play on any 
particular player.  Of course, some media is better quality than others.
