My CD player in my car is a quite old JVC. It used to play burned CDs fine until about a week ago, when it all of a sudden stopped. It will only play one of the burned cd's I own, an old 74 minute one. I tried burning new 74 minute cds, but they don't play either for some reason! Any one know what I'm doing wrong?
 
sometimes the computer doesnt burn them right if there is something wrong with the disk drive. same thing happened to me and i figured out that my disk drive on my laptop is messed up
 
Have you changed the program you use to burn CDs? Does your player only play WAV files and you'd need to convert your MP3s? Are you using the same type of CDs you normally use?
 
My car stereo wont play a CD if it is burnt with my CD burner but it will play CDs that are burnt using my DVD burner..its weird as hell
 
your player might support either dvd-r or dvd +r. they are different. try burning with a different program, and make sure u burn as an audio cd, not mp3 cd.
 
I have now tried converting to wav then burning, using three different cd and dvd drives (including an old 4x one) and using four different burning programs, and still nothing. HELP! Oh, and +karma to all who tried to help.
 
If you have an iPod then you can get something at best buy that just plays it over an empty FM channel. All you do is plug it into the bottom of the iPod (where you would to update the music/content) and you find a channel on the radio that's just all scratchy with no music playing. Once you've found the station find the song you want to play and it will turn on over the radio. Super cool thing and if you want a CD like thing, then just make a playlist and before you start driving start playing the playlist you want and listen. It's great. Only sucks on a long distance drive when you're going in and out of different areas. If you stay withing or close to your city or town it's worry free. Sometimes it gets to where there's a little bit of interference from the beaner music in the mountains here in Cali (surprise it's a Mexican station interfering, Beaners piss me off). You don't have to spend all the time burning and buying Cds and worrying about them getting scratches and everytime you get a few sweet new songs you don't have to burn a whole new CD either. Don't buy the cheap iTrip one though. Buy one that's not excessively expensive with a bunch of features but one with just the radio feature, about the median price range. Here's a link. (they're called FM transmiters)http://www.bestbuy.com/site//olspage.jsp?id=abcat0307011&type=category. I can't help you with the CD though, sorry bro, hopefully the iPod thing will help though.
 
Yeah that's true. Sorry bro I'd love to help but I can't. I gave it my best shot. If all fails though then you should totally try what I recommended.
 
I had the same problem i would burn them and they would not work, i found out i was burning data disks not audio disks, check and make sure on your program that you are using is writing them as audio files. also after i did that i sometimes still would not work but what i found it is if i put the cd in and seek to a track in the middle of the cd it works perfect, it may take a little, but it might work. hope this helps
