Tips on making burned CD's play in car stereo?

Question

Does anyone have tips on making burned CD's play in car stereos? My car is a '96 and has a stock CD player. It takes a while of inserting and reinserting the burned CD to be read and play. My friend licks his CD's to make them play, and it works for his car, but it didn't work for mine.

Answer 1

It is time for an new audio unit. Before 1995/6 MP-3 did not exist so your car play back is greatly limited. Licking a CD to make it play? There's your sign! Best buy, Crutchfield, Wal-Mart, and local sterio shops. You can come out of the dark ages and interface blue tooth with your cell phone over yor car speakers listen to tunes from your phone I-pod Zune and other media types. Satillite radio awaits tunes from your hard drive computer and off air. You can control what you listen to! So what are you waiting for? Control over music! Your entire music libary travels with you.

Answer 2

most older cd players wont play burnt cds right, you can buy a good cd player that will also play mp3's for around a hundred bucks, and licking your cd's will ruin them by the way lol been there

Answer 3

have u check the song's format on ur cd? cuz most cd players in older cars only play .cda format, not mp3. if i was u, i would replace the stock head unit with an after market.

Answer 4

Your best bet may be to replace the CD player. they are much better today, anyway. My son't 99 Civic only plays the CDs I burn using Memorex discs. So, the older models can be finicky.
