Well, it is probably because your disc's expiration date has become invalid or past. You can fix this by either changing the date on your Playnetwork system, or by burning a new disc with a further expiration date or one that will never be reached. Some people have tried to put the year 2500 and things like that, but the player knows this is invalid. Try something reasonable, or do what I did:
For example, in the header of your DATA.TXT can look like this:
[Playlist]
Version 3.1
ID=419
Title=The Blah Disc
Programs=1 <-- the total number of artists or sections
Songs=1 <-- the total number of songs on the disc
ProgramAdvance=1
SongAdvance=1
Expiration=0 <-- if you set it to zero, it doesn't expire
\\\\\\\
Have fun.
