RIP OFF

I paid the $24.95 and my burned CDs will only play on the PC, I suspect this is because they are still in mp3 format, but I'm not sure. Not everyone is a computer expert and some of us need more help then others and this Interact has not done it for me.
I do know that when I go to "settings" - "options" - "CD writer settings" the last two options are grayed out/ One option being to add two second delay and the second option reads, "decode mp3 files directly to cd".
Since I paid the $24.95 why is anything grayed out?
I sure would appreciate some help and intelligent answers.
And Yes I did use the proper Cds.

par1, Welcome to the wacky world called INTERACT (sic??). We are here to mostly have fun and help each other. Sorry for your frustration. Me, I am never frustrated. Let me try and help you out.
First, the
backspace key. Unfortunately backspace can mean different things depending or where you use it. The browser uses it to go back to your previous web page; so puff your page and your bessage box may disappear. Some edit programs use the backspace to delete the previous character in a edit box. BTW, did you try and use the
forward page function to go back to the page that disappeared. That might have worked for you. These things have a lot to do with how your computer is set up.
As far as your second issue
laying CDs you have burned. There are at least two different formats for music. One is called WAV. The other MP3. The factory automobile CD player plays WAV, not MP3. Media Jukebox plays both. So you probably burned a MP3 CD. Thus Media Jukebox could play it, but not your car CD player. Burn a CD in WAV (also called AUDIO) format. The Help text, and the FAQs, should make this easy for you. By the way, some states prohibit listening to MP3 music in your car. You need a special license, or something like that.
I can understand your frustration with the backspace key. A case can be made that every computer based operation should be additive.
