I burned an MP3 CD using iTunes and it played in my RCA DVD player, listing the albums in folders starting with 01, 02, 03, and 04. However it wouldn't play in my portable CURTIS MP3 CD player, which is what I really wanted to make the MP3 CD for in the first place.
I used the MP3 CD setting in iTunes, a CBR of 320kbps (which is supported by the CURTIS), and the CURTIS displayed "No Disc" on the readout.
The Apple website has a list of OS X compatible CD MP3 players, but there are only 3, they are all made by SONICblue and are unavailable, even as used players on amazon.com. I can't afford to buy an iPod right now, and I should be able to use my CURTIS player, right? Here's the link to that webpage on the Apple site:

The tracks are MP3's, they are not AAC's. I ripped ~130 CD's into about 16 GB of MP3 files on my iMac the other day, hoping to burn them to blank CD-R's. I am using generic CD-R's, but that shouldn't matter because I had a generic CD-R burned from a PC that played fine on the portable player.
I figure it must be OSX, or iTunes, or a hardware issue. What else could it be? Can anyone help or narrow down the issue for me?
Thanks
