That's because CD players only read Audio CDs. You've burned a data CD instead. Will play on any computer and even some new CD/DVD players but not on an average CD player. I thought everybody who has a computer knows that kind of stuff...
Anyway, the software you are using to burn CDs lets you choose different data formats including "Audio CD" format. Just keep in mind that an audio CD can't hold more than 16-20 songs. All depends on the length of the songs of course but most pop songs don't exceed length of 5-7 minutes.
So if you have a lot of music on your computer (like a gig of mp3 files) you will need a lot of CDs in order to be able to play all of it on your CD players.
That's why CD players aren't that popular anymore. Most folks use MP3 players instead. For just listenning to music anyway.
