Playing my Own CDs

I was under the impression that I could not play CDs that I had burned myself. Put one in this morning while not thinking and it played fine.

Cool!

It won't play MP3 cd's, but that's it.

I thought.. All CD players were like this.... ??

Your normal CD player will play burned cds as long as you burn them as Audio CDs, and not MP3 CDs. If you have a MP3 CD player (identified by the MP3 logo on the CD slot in your stereo system), then it will play MP3 CDs.

Mine actually plays my own personal burned CD-R's however all of them tend to have noise too, but when I burn the exact same file unto a CD-RW it will play it without noise but will tend to take very long or difficult to read. Original CDs seem to play just fine.

mines the only 8 Ive ever sat in and the owners manual doesnt show a 6disc label on the faceplate. I did find out I have the Bose unit b/c I have AudioPLT volume level control vs. the standard ALC.

That's actually duck tape.

But back to the topic at hand... I found a free program that let me burn MP3's onto a CD as audio tracks. So far I've made a CD of the music from "The Secret of Monkey Island." That plays in my 8's base sound system. Now I just have to rip my 8 track collection and do the same with those.
