Burned CD's skip in carlike an old 45, go figure?

[jkac123]

I play my burned CD's in the car and skip like an old 45rpm! No other cd's do. It is a mystery 2 me? Am i not doing something right ?

When was your car's CD player made? A lot of older models try to read CD-R audio CDs as if they were regular ones. A newer player might solve the problem (1998 and later should work).

You also might try experimenting with various colors of CDs. I've heard some colors are better for music CD and will allow the laser to track easier.

Of course there's silver CDs, but there's also many shade of blue ones availible, I've also seen orange, purple, gold, green, red.

I haven't made too many audio CD yet, but the half dozen I have made I did on Maxell black CDs and they've worked great in every player I've tried them in.

I use PNY Black Diamond disks. They seem to give me the overall best performance.

Try burning at a slower rate.
I have an Alpine cd player in the car, and only likes the disks when are burned at slower speeds.
When I burn @ 12x the disks seems more prone to skip in the car

I am using a 4x and the cd is blue. it is a Verbatim brand, got them for xmas. they work great in the house, they just skip in the car.
