Burning CD question

I had the same problem with Sony CD-R's. They would play perfectly on various inside players, but would skip and hang-up in the car when other burned cd's played fine. Someone told me that the problem had to do with the "reflectivity" of the disk and to try burning at a slower speed. I experimented with different burn speeds (4x, 2x, and 1x), but still had the same problem, although to a lesser extent on 2x and 1x disks. I finally put the Sony's aside, bought some Taiyo Yuden CD-R's and no longer have any problems. By the way, the Taiyo Yuden disks are less reflective and show a magnified image compared to the Sony's mirrorlike finish. Go figure.

I have to admit I am totally confused. Am I wrong in my thinking that a DVD+R disc will not, or should not, play in a CDP.

I am assuming a mistake was made about DVDRs being the recording medium. Although, DVDRs can be used to store audio files, I don't think they will play in a CD player unless they are converted to wave files and put on a CDR.

I've had the best results with Sony CD-R's. It's been the only brand I use over the past 4-5 years, and never had a problem. I too, burn my cd's only for my car's audio.

The burned discs are playing on my fifteen year old Nackamichi, but have a problem with skipping when I play them in the car. I amusing the Windows program to do the burning.

The discs skip occasionally with the Nackamichi but generally in the outer tracks. In the car the first few tracks play without skipping, but by the middle they skip almost constantly.

Does that help at all?
