I have been burning CD's for only a couple of weeks. Very new to
this .mp3 creation stuff.
Have a Toshiba DVD/CD SD-R5002 in my computer.
Using Microsoft Media Player with Nero, it burns .mp3's to CD
without any problem. They work on most of my home DVD/CD players
without any problem.
BUT, I started burning the .mp3's onto DVD's and they will only
work in the computer.
Error, Bad Disc - is displayed on all my home units. (a KLH, a
Sony, an Apex and a Pioneer)

What am I over-looking?

That depends on how you're creating the CDs. If you are creating a data
CD, Nero will put the MP3s on it as data files, exactly as they are
written on your hard drive. But if you are creating an audio CD, Nero
will convert the MP3s to standard uncompressed CD format.

In the case of the data CD, any computer with an MP3 player application
will still be able to play the MP3s, and there are an increasing number
of modern CD and DVD players that will recognize a data CD with MP3s and
play them directly. Not all players by any means, and not even most,
but it's becoming an increasingly common feature.

In the case of the audio CD, well, it's an audio CD. It should play on
any player. The audio is no longer in MP3 format.

In the case of a DVD, there is only one format - a data format. All
DVDs, including DVD-Audio and DVD-Video, use a computer data format in
which to store their content.

If you put MP3 files onto a DVD, your computer will still be able to
play them. However, a standalone DVD player will probably not be able
to do so. In fact, some DVD players that are fully capable of playing
MP3s on a data CD are still completely unable to do so on a data DVD.
I'm not sure why they're designed this way - it would seem reasonable to
give them this capability - but I've never seen a DVD player that could
handle MP3s on a data DVD.
