Re: Burned music CD has no sound.

Did you create a data CD or an audio CD?

If you created a data CD, it would make sense that your laptop could
identify the titles of the songs because that info is stored in the MP3
file.

Also, if you did create a data CD, does your truck player support playing
data CDs? Many older CD players do not. If your truck does support data CDs,
you might try using a different brand of blank CD-R media (some players can
be finicky).
