In reply to Rick Glazier: I checked the Winamp options and removed the
check mark from "Repeat" and now the track quits after one play. Before,
the same track would repeat. The problem is that the tracks I burned will
play individually if I click on the Icon but will not advance from one track
to the next. My other CD players do not advance through the tracks either.
There must be something I am doing wrong when I burn the music
