which copied CD's will stock systems play?

[DavidT]

Particularly in the gen.3?
I know there is: CD-R, CD+R, CD-RW...
Does it matter?

 

[ShadetreeSHOguy]

from what i rememeber about my gf's 98 ford ranger, it would play any cd-r, but no cd-rw's that is iirc

 

[MilTownSHO]

Shouldn't this be in the Gen 3 section? Anyhow, never had a problem with Gen 3's not playing, the older stock systems, yes...

Never tried a CD-RW though...

 

[Ian Macoomb]

No such thing as a CD+R as far as I know. I've never had a problem playing CD-Rs in any CD player. CD-RW are another story. Stick to CD-Rs. They're cheap enough to throw away when you're sick of them.

naughty naught, you shouldn't be pirating copyriighted CD's or asking how or if they work here



Of course I'm the last person to talk about copyright violations I haven't paid for a movie in 2 years

 

[ShadetreeSHOguy]

from what i can tell, i do believe all these stories are fictional and happened in mexico................right?

 

[stevemainian]

They only play cd-r

Ive tried cd-rw, its a no go.

 

[shoteen95]

oh no no no no

see we make CD-R's cause we LOST our original copies, but still had them backed up on our PC's...

but if you want to have some real fun, get a headunit that decodes MP3 discs...then you can make a CD with a lot of those songs from lost cd's

Yes, everyone is correct about CD-R's working. It actually has more to do with the format (wav, mp3, etc.) used to rip the music files than the disc itself. CD-RW's will not work in about 95% of cd players due to the different coating (than CD-R) on the disc which allows it to be rewritten. Like others have suggested, just stick with CD-R's which are very cheap and will almost always work in car cd players.

According to copyright laws, you're entitled to make copies of your own disks for archival purposes. I'm sure that's what he's referring to. *wink wink* *nod nod*

I've found that just about any CR-R burned at 1x speed will work in just about any CD player built since around 1990. They key is to burn them at 1x, no faster. I have all CD-R's burned at 1x in my stock '97 changer and they work perfectly (and they worked in the stock players in both my '92 and '94 perfectly too).

i used to have an old beat up 88 ford ranger and i bought one of those cheap little road gear cd players for it(this was like 2 years ago) and the only cd-r's that would play on it were sony cd-r's, hope it helps

 

[99V8SHO]

I have had no problems with playing any copied CDs.

 

[MilTownSHO]

Really?! I burn them at all different rates, depending on the PC I use of course, never have had any problems with ones burned at like 24X for example...

I've found that if I use really cheap CDs (like Office Depot brand) I get a lot more skipping on bumpy roads.

If I use a high quality "music CD" it plays as well as normal CDs, which skip rarely even on beat-up Cincinnati freeways. Of course, they cost a little more.

I burn them all at 12x and have never noticed a difference. I'll have to try the 1x burn with my cheapo discs and see if that helps. I just hate having to wait 45 minutes for a CD to burn. lol
