Purchase a multi-disk player (preferably one that reads multiple emcoding formats)

Regarding my last post about not being able to burn my mp3 files.  *I* was 
the problem (stupid, stupid, stupid!) I had selected "Make an audio CD" 
instead of "Make an MP3 disc."  Nevertheless this does not solve things for 
me as the cd won't play in my cd player, which is where I want to hear the 
music (late nights while in bed)  It works fine in my computer and also in 
my dvd player.  The dvd player is hooked up to my tv so the sound is pretty 
bad coming out of those tiny, cheap, speakers.  Any *other* options?

Thanks
gcc

Thanks
gcc
