I've been having problems with playing burned cds in my car. I changed my mp3s to wavs but that didn't work either. I have cds of the same brand that other people have made me in the past that will play in the cd player so I dont think it is my cd player. To make it even more confusing... The cds I've made using my cd burner play in other peoples' cars so I dont think it is my cd burner either. This may be more of a car question but if someone can give me any advice, I'd appreciate it.
If on your car you have a normal CD player you need to burn an AUDIO cd not a CR-ROM ISO cd with .wav or .mp3 in it. Use Nero or EAC ( www.exactaudiocopy.de ). Ah, burn it at LOW speed or you'll hear pops, clicks. More, learn the difference between AUDIO and DATA type CD or you'll burn coasters.
"Ah, burn it at LOW speed or you'll hear pops, clicks." Well, this is totally hardware dependent. I can smoke at 44x and the results are fine. But generally it is a good idea to decrease the audio burn speed slightly. To 16x perhaps?
I totally agree, cd-rw.org. Probably I'm too much conservative, but since 74 min @ 44x = 2 min 74 min @ 12x = 6 min I usually prefere to be on the safe side, rather than wasting a good CD just for saving 4 minutes. This is just my opinion, though.
