I am now afraid that the music I ripped is unreadable on other players and downloads are non-readable between players.
Just put it in a CD player and see if it works.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I'm not positive what you are asking - let me take a stab, though
If it is in mp3 format it is burnable and readable by just about anything. Period. All the online music stores that I have seen use the same format - mp3s. If you have a folder full of mp3s and load into what ever program you use to burn - as long as you set the burner on AUDIO - it will automatically format the CD to play like a CD you buy in the store - that anyone/stereo can play.
If you don't set the CD to burn to AUDIO - it should default to DATA - then the mp3s will burn just as they are - as compressed sound files - some people's stereos who are adapted with mp3 players will be able to play them, most will not.
So just make sure the format you are downloading is mp3 and that you are setting to burn as AUDIO.
I hope that answers something for you.

no, I don't mean on CD players, the burning part I have figured out for settings.
I have ripped all my CDs using a RealOne player on my computer, but now I realize that in order to download music from RealOne it is a monthly subscription charge, balh blah blah. So I had downloaded 2 songs using my MusicMatch/Dell Jukebox player. I can get those downloads to play on the RealOne, but it can't burn them.

Hmm. What kind of file are they?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
msbelle, even if you downloaded them as WMA, you might be able to convert them to mp3 in RealOne. I use iTunes, and it can convert songs to mp3, so maybe RealOne can, too.

Steph. Imay be able to, but right now I can get it to. I think I am gonna just use iTunes. It turns out that MusicMatch will NOT download things in MP3 format. Bastards.

Alternately msbelle, you could burn those songs some other way with another program, and then reupload them as mp3 files.

msbelle, what format does Musicmatch download files in? In my version of Musicmatch, you can convert from .wav to mp3.
