I burned a selection of downloaded audio files onto a Sony CD-RW 700 mb disk. It wont play in the factory CD player in my 98 chrysler minivan (gives an error message and ejects) even though it does play in a new cd player installed in another vehicle.
Any ideas why this would happen and how I could record so ALL cd players would play it?
Thanks

yeah sometimes CDs you burn yourself won't play on some players. gonna have to live with it - it's just one of those things.

YEr car player might be old, or it might not be compatible with the discs format. Sum players dont play ALL types of Recordable CD media. Sum play CD-r, but not CD-rw, sum play CD-R, but not CD+R, sum players will play EVERYTHING and sum players dont play any type of recordable media. Check yer players documentation for Media Compatability..ild bet youll find the answer to yer problem in there. also, it might not play if you didnt end the recording session, or "Finalize" it, as puters put it. There is also NO way to gurantee that a player you buy will play every format of recordable CD. YOu would think Manufacturers would just make it an industry standard and make all player ALL-READY for any media, but they dont... so you'll prolly run into this problem again and again and agian.

Some car CD players don't support all formats (i.e. wma, mp3) like the newer ones do.
If you have a software (audio / video) that is able to create an audio CD (cda format), this will, most likely, play in your '98 Chrysler's CD player.
Give it a try.

It's the RW factor. Sometimes a player won't accept the rewriteable discs. Try burning the same data on a CD-R and see if that works.

Many of the older model cd players can't read CD-R's and CD-RW's. Burning CD's wasn't a big thing in the laste 90's so the radios are not CD-R and CD-RW compatible. Your new radio will play them because it's new. If you check your new radio, I bet somewhere on it it says CD-R or CD-RW compatible

JD ...you are driving a 98 model van...the technology at that time was not todays....It can't read the format you used in the downloading...
Check the specs on the player...it should list the format that it accepts....
Probably have to upgrade the player......good luck...Yukoneze

Wrong format! You have to have correct format for the laser on the "radio" to read it ,-- it must be digital audio!, -- Or the disc that you recorded it from is"copy protected", - and puts in gabage that the laser can't read properly!
Car radio won't read "MP-3" format from "data recorded cd.

Did you close the CD out. If you don't close it , it won't play anywhere but your computer.

your stereo is not equipped to play a CD-R or a CD-RW, only the new stereos are made to do that.
