Today I tried to burn an audio CD. This may actually be the first
time I ever did this.

I'm sure there are all kinds of GUIey tools, but I took the simple
route: expanded a few high-quality MP3s to raw PCM with mpg123,
then put a CD-R in the drive and burned it with

burncd -f /dev/acd0 -d audio *

How about "fixate" at the end of the command, or do I
remember incorrectly that this is needed? At least it
was used for data tracks (ISO-9660)...



Then I put the CD into my car CD player, which was the reason for
the whole exercise.
11 tracks (ok)... playing track 1... (nothing)... ERROR CD.

The player does not like the CD.

Do you have another "hardware CD player" to check? Maybe
the car's CD player doesn't like your CD media - this is
quite possible. (I have such a "hardware CD player" that
doesn't play burned CDs, but pressed ones.) Some CD drives
are picky about the media they accept.



Is there anything obvious I missed?

Except "fixate" maybe... but keep in mind that I'm not
sure about this; I'm not using burncd anymore since I
discovered cdrecord and cdrdao (that use the ATAPICAM
facility).
