Most likely, your MP3 player cannot read the format of the CD. Insert 
the disc in your Mac and do a "Get Info" on it. Check what's under 
"Format". If it's "Mac OS Extended", that's most likely the problem. 
Most players can only read CDs in the ISO9660 format. Check the Toast 
Lite docs; I may be wrong on this one, but as I recall it doesn't write 
ISO9660 discs. If it does, write your MP3 CDs in that format. If it 
doesn't, don't use Toast Lite for this job. Follow Leon's suggestion, 
and use the built-in Disk Burner (or iTunes) to burn the disc as "MP3 
CD".
