Can't get burned cd's to play
 

So far I've tried memorex and verbatim cd-r's. I'm burning them as audio cd's with WMP. It's a stock head unit in a 97 camaro. Any tricks to get them to play? It keeps saying error and ejecting them.

Try burning them at no more than 10x. Recording speed has been found to make a huge difference in the reliability of the factory head unit being able to play recorded discs.

Tried slow burning speed with wmp and 4x with i-tunes and still no luck.

I can't say that I've ever heard of that kind of problem but I quit buying CD's and just starting transfering all my songs over to my iPhone and whatever else I want, I just buy them from iTunes.

The bluer, the better. Sony CD-R Audios work for me,
some others brands have, but any pale green cheapo,
forget it. Search here for posts, I know others have
said what did & didn't work for them.

Might be a weird question, but have you recently tried a regular(non burned) CD to make sure the CD player itself still works?

You're not using CD-RWs, are you? Those can cause issues in older HU's. Also, you MUST burn them as WAV CDs with a factory HU, NOT MP3 cd's. That might be your problem as well.

some older cd players just dont like newer discs.......try NERO...........they have a free version......i ALWAYS burn mine at 4x

I burn all my changer CDs from MP3 files and have had no issues (until
the changer dies, recently - but the CDs played fine for years). The only
problem I have had, is the choice of dye. Which of course they tell you
nothing about, although if you can find any mention of "archival life"
or such, that's a better dye. Basically if they're not proud of it, it's
a crap shoot.

I just bought JVC cd-r's which are supposed to be the best with no luck, and this is the 3rd different brand I have tried.

Works fine with real cd's.

CD-R's and I'm burning them as audio cd's.

Tried nero, the slowest my computer will burn at is 10x. :(

Just get the adapter that lets you hook up your MP3 to the stock headunit. Much better overall solution IMO.
