It's a data disk, not an audio disk, so when you put it in your CD drive it won't play automatically. (Your PC simply recognizes it as a collection of files, just the same as if it contained pictures).

Open the tracks in the same way that you'd open picture files. Double-click 'My Computer'. Double-click the icon for your CD drive. Double-click on the mp3 file you want to play.

Perversely, even though it's a data disk, if you put it into an mp3-compatible CD player, it should play as if it was an audio disk.

Try putting the disc in a CD Burner drive rather than just a CD player drive if you have one,
This often happens if the disc has not been finalised to play in any drive.
