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.

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.
