    For additional info, please see my post in Applications. I used to be able to burn CDs that would play in my CD Rom, my home CD Player, & in my car. I recently had to get a new burner, which will play CDs in my CD Rom, home CD Player, DVD Player, but NOT in my car. I 1st tried to burn using Music Match 7.2+, utilizing volume leveling, & digital audio enhncements within the program. I made 3 CDs like that, that apparently won't play in my car, but seem to play everywhere else. My son made 1 using Roxio Easy Creator Basic, that shipped with my new burner, & that doesn't play in my car either but plays everywhere else. I thought at 1st, it didn't like the volume leveling & aaudio enhancements from Music Match 7.2+, but then when it did the same thing from Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 Basic, I'm figuring the burner,s for some strange reason, incompatible with the CD Player in my car. I have a 1995 car with factory Delco stereo, burner used to be Philips, 8x4x32, not sure of model, used with Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.02, new 1 is Lite-On LTR 40125S, 40x12x48, shipped with Roxio Easy CD Creator Basic. Computer is Gateway G6-350, 350MHz, 10GB, PII, modified 384 MB max allowable RAM, Windows 98. Is there any way to get the other CDs to play in my car, & to prevent others from having same problem. It looks to me like, since it had the same result with 2 different programs, that the burner's the problem or an incompatibility with my car stereo, more specifically, for some strange reason, when the old burner, which was < 2 yrs old didn't have the same problem. Is there anything I can do, or am I stuck with this mess, & just be happy that they play at all?
    Any helpful dialog or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks !:mad:

    CD burning

    I have just recently purchased a new PC with a CD rewriter, so I am now getting into this whole new experience.
    A couple of months previously, a friend was kind enough to burn a CD for me on his machine. Great, except it would not play on my Goodmans CD player at home, it said disc error after loading, but would play on another older CD player with no problems. It also played on my car CD fine. My wife was given a CD copied by a friend. This disc would not play in HER car CD, but would play on mine fine and on the Goodmans at home.
    Can anyone explain to myself and my friend above anything about the mysteries of CD burning and compatibility issues.Cheers
    Ron

    Did you by any chance use a different brand of CDR? Some brands won't work in all stereos.

    Thanks for your support. I'm glad to see that I'm not in this alone.
    I have always used the same exact type & brand for all CDs that I've burned so far, like 30-40 of them, all on 700MB/80 minute IMATION CD-R Disks. The ONLY thing(s) that changed, are my CD-RW(Burner) quit/died, etc. in less than 2 years, forcing me to get a new one, & forced me to get new software that came with it, that doesn't do everything my previous software did. I used 1 program to burn 3 CDs, then my son used the new program to burn 1. BOTH programs produced the same results, i.e. CDs play in CD-Rom, & home CD Player, even DVD, but not in car. From what I can see, the common denominator is the CD-RW(burner). It's 2002/2003 technology, my car stereo's 1995/1996 technology.
    (For additional detaails, please see my post in Applications):confused:
