"How do I play a Bandlink CD with my usual CD Player?"

This is a very common issue with Enhanced CDs these days.

Even though Bandlink is a "Next Generation Music Experience", ALL Enhanced CDs have both audio and data information on them and this is why it is slightly confusing to "Find" just the audio. No Problems though.

Any basic CD player software program will read your Audio CD as easily as your car stereo. The best way to view an Enhanced CD is not to "Browse, or Find" the Audio Tracks using the standard "Windows Explorer" but rather you should "Play" the Audio Tracks using the CD Player itself. All CD players have a "Play Audio, Play CD" function.

Here is information for some commonly used CD players and how they can be used to play your CD.

Always Quit Bandlink before Using Your Player.
