I have burn more than a dozen on my Compaq Presario using the Easy CD Creator 5. All but the first one work faultlessly. The first one was burn at 8x speed and the DVP-S9000ES will not play it. I burn the rest at 2x speed and every single one worked. I used Memorex Music CD-R, which costs $5 more than regular CD-R for a 50 Pack. I was told that Music CD-R has a special code embedded and some CD players do not like the ones without the code. The DVP-S9000ES seems to be one of them.
