Hi Noik,
Thanks for your comments.
I tried this evening to find the file extensions as described in an
earlier post, and got many files in the large right pane, none of which
(when opened) bore any reference to sound recording or CDs. The
explanation of the portable CD burner's tech support that the music is
recorded in folders, that my PC can read the folders, and that a
standard audio CD player cannot, might be correct. However, that does
not help me.
So, thanks to everyone for trying to help me. To the poster who
misunderstood my explanation and accused me of not wanting to know the
answer to my question, I suggest that you please keep your advice to
yourself.

You couldn't see any filename extensions? A "." followed by three
characters at the end of the filename? Did you follow directions and
uncheck the "hide extensions" option? What do you see when you right
click on a filename and select Properties? Anything about the file
type?

Hi,
Please excuse my absence from the group for a while In the first place,
my wife had 2 operations on her nose for skin cancer, and her needs
occupied all my time. Then,my newly repaired newer laptop PC wiped out
my SeaMonkey browser and made I.E. inoperative. Trying to puzzle out
what went wrong was a nightmare, still not resolved. I'm sending this on
my old PC laptop, which gives me a hard time regarding messages to
newsgroups.
I am grateful to all who helped me regarding my audio CD-R problem, and
will further pursue the question of file extension names as soon as I
can, and then get back to you.

Hi All,
I'm back, having wife's nose cancer operation, and a breakdown of my
laptop requiring repair by the manufacturer's repair service.
Thanks for your patience.
I think that I accidentally figured out my problem regarding no CD
playback of music CD-Rs burned on my DigiMagic portable burner meant for
photos. While attempting to copy a good CD of mine to CD-R, I
inadvertently clicked on the data CD icon instead of the audio CD icon
in Roxio..Well, the resultant CD-R behaved just like my problematic ones
described in my original post: it played nicely on my laptop's CD player
but did not play at all on any of my audio system CD players. I then
reburned a CD-R by clicking on the audio CD icon, and that new CD-R
played on all my CD players. So, not having any knowledge of the
programs involved, I can only assume that data encoding is OK for
computer CD players, but that music encoding is necessary for audio CD
players.
I now realize that my portable CD burner is OK for photos, but not for
music.
