OK, thanks, Mikey left out that critical piece that he works on a Mac.

I agree with Mike.  He use's a Mac which is different and will act
differently with a CD that has been opened and essentially not "closed" 
for re-writes.  This basically puts a Windows re-writable file system on the
CD rather than one that can be read by multiple systems.

Burn them as read-only, write once and close the session.  Then he should be
able to read them just fine.  That's how I've done it in the past when I
send CDs to Mike.

CDs are -cheap- these days, don't worry about re-writing.  Don't even
-think- about buying the re-writable kind.
