A friend gave me a CD (MP3) and it wouldn’t play - she then burned another one as an Audio CD and it still won’t play. Anyone know why? Thanks for any assistance 😩
Hello EintsteinJ,
Welcome to the Bose Community, thanks for posting.
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues playing CDs on your Wave Radio CD. To help me assist you further, can you please confirm if the system you are using has a top loading CD drive? If so, you can use something like a cotton bud to gently clean the glass lens element inside the system that is on top of the laser that reads the disc. If there is dust/debris, you may experience issue with playback.
I look forward to hearing from you and if anyone else is having similar issues, please feel free to get involved in the conversation.
Kind regards

I have done that and my other CDs have no problem in playing. 😟
Hello EinsteinJ,
If all other CDs are working fine, I would assume then that the formats in which you are exporting the discs are not supported by the system.
The Wave Radio CD supports:
- CD
- CD-R
It is not compatible with:
- CD-RW
- MP3 On CD
- MP3 On DVD
- WMA
- AAC
- SACD
- DVD-Audio
- DualDisc
- CD Side
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Jeff G
No, my CD player is front loading
My cd player just stopped playing cd's one day. It is a top loader on my old acoustic wave radio. I want to keep the system because it is perfect where I have it with great sound. Thought the problem might be dust inside the cd player itself which I tried to clean with a cd cleaner disc. Don't want to ruin my discs... Please advise me as to what I should do such as send it in to be fixed...but where??
Many thanks...
