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!

Yeah my 04' plays burned cd's just fine.

Fail.

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

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

If your deck says MP3 on the front it will :)

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.

Cool story Hansel! jp, I wish the artist name would show up on the screen. That would be nice.

burn it at lower speed like 4x or 8x

im having trouble with my 6 cd changer!!
i just got my 8 and it says hold the (LOAD) button. not working...
is there something im not doing?!

^^^^^Just press the load button then wait. You don't have to hold it.

how do you tell if you have the 6 cd in dash unit, I have a load button and Bose on the door tweeters.

theres a logo on it that has 6 small CDs...:eek:

that's it burn it real slooow................:FIREdevil

:rollingla

Same issue still on 4X ... hmm ... I dont have the Bose speakers just regular .... still doesnt explain how come the CD-RW manages to not produce noise.

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.

people still use CD's?

We have to. They don't put tape players in cars any more.

like duct tape?

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.
