When I owned my former computer, now donated for recycling, it had the Windows XP Operating System Media Center Edition, SP3. That system allowed the burning of discs for either the purposes of data archiving purposes and/or the purpose of saving music/audio files. Furthermore, any music audio files created in my former computer system' disc drive were fully capable of being played on my portable player or even my handheld CD styled Walkman. The fact this was possible tells me it STILL MUST BE POSSIBLE to accomplish the same thing using my new replacement laptop computer system even with an external disc drive.
I am currently using a new Hp Envy laptop; Product #X6V56UA#ABA
My computer logic here is spot on.
From Audacity I have finally been able to get my audio from my portable into the Audacity program in my new laptop computer. The problem now comes down to: Why can't I be using my external disc drive: LG Blu-ray / DVD Writer to properly burn a disc which has the ability to be played on either my standalone portable player, a Walkman styled CD player, or a car stereo system.
Before I can attempt to burn a disc from the Audacity software program I have to format the disc in the LG Blu-ray / DVD Writer. In my opinion, therein lies the problem. The LG Blu-ray / DVD Writer must be doing something during its formatting process that is different from the formatting process my older now donated laptop computer' disc drive was doing. Think about that! It makes logical sense to me.
In the Audacity software program it states in their written online tutorial:
Audio CDs
There are two main types of CDs that you can create with CD burning software: audio CDs and data CDs.
To ensure that you create a CD that will play anywhere it is important to choose the option to burn an "Audio CD" or "Music CD" and not a "Data CD". A data CD containing for example MP3 or WAV files will play happily on your computer but is unlikely to play in a standalone CD player or in-car CD player (note that some modern CD players will play data CDs). An audio CD will play on any standalone or in-car CD player and in your computer and in modern DVD players.
Audio CDs do not have files or a file system like data CDs and other computer storage media, but consist essentially of a stream of bits on the disc in a single spiral "track" with a TOC (Table of Contents) index.
Audio CDs are generally limited to 74 minutes playing time on a 650 MB disc ("Red Book Standard") or 80 minutes on a 700 MB disc.
When buying blank CDs for burning, it is strongly recommended that you purchase good quality CD-Rs (that can be burnt just once) and not the rewritable CD-RWs.
I have followed their directions to the "Tee":

Audacity' instructions also state:

So, I am concerned why this isn't happening. And I have a sneaky suspicion the reason may be coming down to the formatting process of the LG Blu-ray / DVD Writer. The LG Blu-ray may be doing something different than what the regular disc drive did in my former laptop computer (describe above).
The following is a clip from an email describing the same situation to a case manager at Hp: I have not post info herein about Cyberlink software on Toms Hardware forum, but it will be necessary to the reader of this post to see the following info:
I am not even talking about my attempts to do burn a disc using the Cyberlink software program I told you about in a former email and during our recent phone conversation. However, I predict the same thing will happen even if I used the Cyberlink software to burn a disc. Why? Because the LG Blu-ray / DVD Writer is still going to want to format the disc before burning it. Hence, I will get the same outcome, and I believe I even tested this situation in my former efforts to find a way to solve this problem.
Think about what I am saying to you in this email, and share it with your tech people. They have to admit what I am pointing out here makes perfect sense. I was able to do things properly on my former laptop which had the Media Center edition and a built in disc drive.
