I have not had any luck playing burnt CD's in my CD player. I have used a few different brands of CD's and none of them will play in my player. I just recieved a disk as a gift that did play. I don't know what brand it was, but it played fine. I am still trying to find out the brand of CD that does work.

Good luck.

In my experience, it's not the brand of CD that determines whether or not it will work - it's the software you use to burn the CD. It must be burned as an audio CD and closed correctly by the software. Done correctly, I've never had a problem playing a burned CD in the factory head unit.

Rusty is correct.
It depends upon the format in which the disc was produced.
If the disc is burned in MP3 format, you will need a head unit that can read MP3 formats.
If the cd was created as an audio CD compatible with most cd players (Usually giving each file a .trk extension) then most head units should recognize it and play without issue.

Never had a problem with Memorex CDs

When burning CD's in audio format, for use in home or car stereos, burn them at the lower end of the bitrate scale. 4k or 8k. I have burned many discs, and when using the higer rates, they will play fine in a computer's cdrom drive, but will not play in a standard cd player.

If you buy a stereo built for mp3cd's they work well no matter what.

Or, get a satellite radio, and don't bother with CD stuff at all.

They work in both of my trucks.

I've burned many cd's and have converted the mp3 files to .wav files. They have work fine...

Weird cause I have 2 friends with Jeep TJ's and they took out their factory CD players because they couldn't play burnt discs. I was gonna take one and bolt it into my SLT Laramie which came with a tape player but thought it would be useless to me as well. It should bolt and plug right in so maybe I'll try it and see what happens.

Cheers.

When I first got my 01 I could not get burnt audio CDs to play. I figured it was the brand of media. Some brands would play with some skips. My wifes Alpine would play any of them fine.

Then a few years ago I got a new CD burnner and newer software for my computer. Now disks I burn play perfectly in my truck. Not sure what fixed it but I'm not as sure media is the only issue.

yeah i had a great cd burned and i went to put it in my dodge and it took it, waited for a second, then said error and spit it back out at me. How do you burn it on a 4 k or a 8k?? do i have to have diferent software in my computer or is it somthing i can ajust with what i got?? thanks

Media will determine whether your cd play burnt discs or not. Buy blank cds meant for audio or music use and you'll have no problems. Many data cds also work fine. Walmart, for example, sells both types.

Most of the time it was how it was burned not what it is burned on.

Also most of the newer software will warn you if you burn something that may have problems playing ( notice I did not say all will)

I actually prefer Ahead Nero as it has more options than Roxio. Some of the Windows media players ( new versions) will burn it for you also but they will not close the cd properly and that will cause problems with the factory cd player, after markets will play them fine most of the time. Also do not use RW disks with the factory players. Some work and some dont, this seems to depend more on the guts of the cd player not the media. Some of the players are able to read the format of the re-writables and some wont. This seems to be the luck of the draw, maybe Infinity made some changes to the players and some were sent out able to and some cant.

Been working professionally with cds and burners for 10 years now. If there's no problems with the burner, and the software writes to the "red book" standard (all of them do) and is used properly, trust me, it's the media. Sometimes, slowing down the burn speed will also help with questionable media.

Nero is too complicated (under the hood, burning cds is a complicated process) for the average user and Roxio is usually too expensive, IMO. I prefer NTI in those cases, but there's a couple of dozen other creation programs avialable. I don't recommend the built-in Windows stuff.
