Burning CD question


Disclaimer: I own all the CDs I have been burning.

I have been burning single track from some on my CDs onto discs for use in the car. I have had a little trouble playing them back on the Nakamichi, but I have had a lot of trouble getting them to play in the car. They skip a lot.

I have been using Verbatim DVD+R discs and burning at 128.

Any idea why these are playing so poorly?

Thats a new one to me, my CDR burner will not even read a DVDR disc. Try a CDR blank disc, see how that works....
Unless there is something wrong with the transport in your car (in which case all CDs you played would/should skip) my guess is the problem lies in your burning way too fast.

Most composers and musicians I know won't burn music faster than 4x even though their equipment allows speeds up to 48x or more. Don't ask me why slower is so much more important with music and not data -- they don't know either, but they all say they can hear the difference. And they don't skip!
If a CDR is designed to be burned at high speed, it is best to burn them so. If you are going to burn at slow speeds it is best to use media designed for slow speed burning. Disc errors can occur from using media incorrectly. HHB makes CDRs just for slow speed recording.
