BlakJak:
tardtasticx: CD-RW
I don't have any blank CD-R's. I have plenty of blank DVD's and one CD-RW (the one in question). Should I buy a blank CD-R to try?

I'm glad someone thought to ask, because I dismissed this is as obvious. Read-Writable disks are entirely different in composition to CD-R Disks. You need to use -R (or +R), finalised, one-write disks if you want to emulate Audio CD's.

[pedantic mode]Look above, there is no such thing as a -R or +R CD. You're thinking of DVDs[/pedantic mode]

I also wouldn't bother with the specialist "audio" CD-Rs, last time I looked they were rather expensive. A reasonable quality CD-R written at low speed and finalised should do the job but it may be necessary to try a few different brands to find one the CD player likes.

Re pedantic mode: Yes you're right of course. My bad there, I was thinking of DVD and the fun we had with consistency when they were introduced.

But i've never really considered using CD-RW disks for Audio. Agree wholeheartedly with your other comments, don't buy the cheapest brand, and burn at a slow rate, for best results.

No signature to see here, move along...

Yeh I always burn at the slowest rate. I'll go to the mall this weekend sometime and try with a CD-R instead and I didn't get the chance to try the clock on the car, mum should be home shortly and I'll try it then.

Also make sure you are not burning the music as MP3's - many car audio player refuse to accept MP3 encoded CD's. Has to be Audio / Music CD format.

And ditto re many players being not able to support CD R/W's - changed a stacker that refused to recognise CD R/W's for one that did.

Yeh I had to do some errands today so I burnt a CD with "My Neck, My Back" - Khia (dirty version :P) and drove past my mates place and it played absolutely perfectly. He wasn't to impressed though xD.

I also changed the time on the clock in the car as well.
Thanks for your help guys.
