Conventional CD player only play so-called AUDIO CDs, usually organised in tracks, which any burning software can produce upon request. Study the manual or help. (Software can be buggy, but many free programmes are known to yield good results. Burning hardware can be "off the track" as well.)

CD-Rom is a different format, meant for computers. Some recent CD players, usually labeled "MP3", can read it as well (i.e. play the audio files on it, including MP3 files).
