I would assume that if a recorded book on CD is in the standard CD-DA format like all commercial music CD's, then yes. Having never bought a book on CD, I would assume they are made to play in any audio CD player. And yes, this Coby player does play audio CD's.

Haven't tried making CD's yet, but I do know I can that it works on my MAC and I can play DVD's. I have an old MAC that runs on OS X. I guess you can try it, I would.

Yes, I have not had any problems playing cd music or mp3 music disc burned onto these disc. My DVD/CD burner burns these disc at 40X with never a failure.

It plays both regular DVDs and bluray DVDs beautifully. I have not tried to record DVD movies. Have used DVD-Rs to write data/files and it works just fine. Also copied CDs that worked fine too.

It does play CD's. May want to explore other players unless the price is unbeatable.

My personal preference would be the Marantz cd 5004. Both are very good cd players but I just trust the Marantz more. It has superior sound for the money and the build quality is excellent. And it's packaged very well.

NO CD player will give you a "seamless" stream of music when changing discs .. but I'm sure you know that. I bought this Yamaha 697-BL Carousel-Type Changer a couple of years back, and it's the VERY BEST player I've ever owned! I've had several different manufacturer's models over the years and decided I wanted another carousel-type player .. this was the best decision I've made yet! MANY features, ease of use, dependable .. what more do you need?

I have two of them and they both play CDs and DVDs just fine . I would recommend updating the firmware to the most current one . You most likely though will have some issues playing some of the newer blu ray releases but otherwise it's a great player . Good luck

I have not tried cdr's, I do have trouble with playing regular cd's. Sometimes you have to insert them several times and wait for them to be read, very frustrating!

I really only use mine for loading software and for burning CDs to archive photos, but I'm perfectly certain that if you burn a DVD on it, it can be played on another DVD player. I own two of these, and the only problem I've had is one occasionally fails to latch closed reliably: it always latches eventually.

When playing CD talking books, the player resumes at the last location when turned on. Should work the same for playing DVD's.

The product is garbage you shouldn't spend your money on it but if you want to give it a go .. As long as it has the RCA connection it will work but if your DVD player doesn't support cd+g your not going to be able to sing along it's not going to show the words you would need to buy a DVD player that supports cd+g and at that point your already at about 80-100 dollars you might as well invest in a 100 dollar kareoke machine we'll I hope I was helpful .

any brand...as long as it is DVD-R or DVD-RW you can record on and if you finalize the DVD after you finish using the DVD... you can play it on your computer.

It is most likely defective. Mine quit working within 30 days, sent it in for warranty service, got it back now it will play CD's Story well as DVD's

Mr. Moore, the advice seems to make no sense. Isn't a "Digital Audio" disc a CD? DVD for video and CD for music, speeches, etc. I have burned hundreds of Sony DVDs over the years and not one has let me down. Be sure and use the format, DVD- or DVD+, that your recorder burns. In my experience DVD- discs will work for the vast majority of recorders, but yours might require DVD+ discs. Paul

yes I can play back discs that I have burned... I can play playaway audiobooks( preloaded digital players) and of course other CDs that are manufactured by a publisher. The sound is great. Jean
