i burnt a CD...in my car it palys intermitantly...almost skips but more like blanks...but in my computer plays just fine...at work plays fine...in my friends CRV plays fine ...i have other burnt CDs in and they all play fine...so whats up?

 

Is it the same brand of CD-R as the other ones you have that work?

I have noticed that some brands won't play on some of my players, while other brands will. I figured out one that works on everything I own and bought a couple 100 disc spindles of them so I don't have to worry about it ever again.

 

One thing you need to make sure of is that you don't use one of those paper labels that you affix on top of a CD. Those can throw off the balance and weight of the CD like crazy ... Brand of course is also very important. I've been using Fujifilm CD-Rs (Made in Japan - Taiyo Yuden OEM), and they seem to work well in my player.

If you want to go more expensive you could always go Mitsui Gold, or Verbatim DataLife Plus, but those are a lot more expensive.

I think all Fujifilm media is on sale this week at Bestbuy (50% off their normal price). Something like $7.50 for 50.

If you're not sure what brand your CD-R is, you can find out the OEM by using a program like this one ... CD-R Identifier is free, and pretty good at telling you what company made your CD-R and what dye was used.

 

i just re burned the same songs and im still getting a problem..and yes i have thr same brand off the same spindle of burnt CDs in there now and they play ...

 

Burn it at a slower speed. Whenever i burn something at 24x it skips like that too. Turn the speed down to about 8 or 12x and try it. I've yet to have one that was burned at 8x skip on me.

 

I agree with ABreece, try a slower speed. Also make sure you didn't change any options in the CD burning software. One thing that I do that helps is to uncompress the MP3s into WAV files first and then burn them. That way the computer has less processing to do while its actually burning .. If for some reason when you're decompressing the MP3 on the fly, the computer can't keep up with the burning, there's a chance you will have skips ... although BurnProof and the like are really supposed to prevent this.

 

it was the speed ..it was at max...i changed it to 8X and voila....thank you all...

 

hmm i was thinking maybe it was from the 3.5L but i guess not



lol
