Hello
That's interesting, Iain. I know the Wave only supports straightforward
audio (CDDA) or data CDs, not mixed.
Susan, if the CDs you are playing are straight audio then you probably
should change the player. If they are enhanced then there is noguarantee
they would play on a new one - this might be the reason that you asked
about
firstly!
Regards
Tony

I know of some commercial music CDs which do not play on my Victor Vibe.
These tend to be enhanced CDs.
