I removed and cleaned the CD-Writer drive. Then after a couple of rather unpleasant hours of crashes, unsuccessful restores, trying to un- then re-install Easy CD Creator( finally found RoxiZap), I finally got ECDC running and upgraded to 4.05. I tried a data CD that I knew was good. It loaded normally and I was able to open any of the files on it. Then I inserted the problem CD. It loaded for a couple of minutes(the disk indicated it was full) until the flashing green light turned to a steady amber. I then clicked the drive's icon. It opened as a music CD with one file showing titled "track 01", a CDA file. When I clicked on this, it called for Winamp, which I had uninstalled. I re-installed Winamp(5) and tried a music CD I had made that I knew was OK. It played all the tracks, which were also CDA files. I re-inserted the "bad" disk. Winamp displayed 'track 01' just as with the good music CD, but nothing played, of course. The CD in question is a Sony CD-R, configured by Easy CD Creator to "create a data disc that will be accessible through a drive letter". It containes no MP3 files.
PS - After it was first made, I could open the data files I'd saved on it. TIAA
