It's not a problem with the software you are using to burn the CDs, but
with the CD player itself. Some CD players (whether car, portable, or
decks) have problems playing anything other than original CDs. The
Kenwood I had in my old Accord would play CD-Rs but it would not even
read CD-RWs.

Cosmin....

Please stop ing bad information.
Yes...it could be the player, but most likely its not.
Very few audio players play RW's. They are for DATA,
not audio.

Just try several different brands of CD-R's. Try adjusting
the speed of the burn, sooner or later you will find a
combo that works.

I take exception to that remark. I do not give advice unless I'm fairly
certain that it contains correct information. The opening sentence of my
post is "It's not a problem with the software you are using to burn the
CDs". Are you saying that the SOFTWARE used to record has something to
do with the readability of a CD?

> Yes...it could be the player, but most likely its not.

So it may be that some players can give errors when reading CD-Rs.

Well, I used a bad example. A friend's car stereo could play CD-RWs,
whereas mine would not. CD-RWs are mostly for data, but if your player
does not have problems reading music CD-RWs, you can be pretty sure it
can read any CD-Rs.

So, could you point out the "bad information" I've been ing?

I do agree with this point. Usually higher quality CD-Rs are accepted by
more players than cheap ones. The recording speed also has an influence,
however it's not as important as the quality of the medium.

Re: cd player plays CD-R ?
 

Even my 2003 Accord won't play CD-R's worth a damn in the standard in-dash
changer, which is inexcusable in this day. However, I did get the factory
MP3 player, which plays CD-Rs just fine, either regular CD-Audio or a data
disc filled with MP3's. Go figure.

My '04 Civic plays CDRWs just fine, even though the manual says it
won't. I have a TDK burner, and use Nero 5.5.

Re: cd player plays CD-R ?
 

I got it !! TDK works...I burned using NERO @ 4x
a cd takes 40 mins, but hey, it works on the cd player.
Thanks for your comments Masterson, Scott and Star.

Hmm, I don't have trouble with homemade CDs in my 2003 CR-V. I use
Toast Lite from a Macintosh. Putting paper labels on those CDs isn't
the best idea I've ever had, though. I've stopped doing that.
