One deck is less tolerant of errors...or one is more.

My whole point is that if you run into problems burn it slower. Maybe I should have just stated that from the beginning.

mmhmm

so someone answer the question...


whether my deck is very forgiving or not, i'm using two different brands of cd's and burning them at the same speed, lets say for arguments sake the slowest possible speed, and i'm burning the exact same content onto both cd's...

if one cd won't work in my deck, and the other will...doesn't that mean the brand of the cd does matter?

(summary - one deck, two cd's - brand X & Y, brand X works and brand Y doesn't, cd's were burned at same speed and contain same content)

p.s. - coles notes are available upon request

 

Well in that case then the brand of CD would probably make a difference. Are you having this problem? It's simple, stop using that brand of CD I guess.

Jay

 

yes, had the problem and stopped using certain brands of cd's...

there was an opinion earlier in this discussion that cd brands do not matter, and i don't agree

....which is where the word problem came into play

anyways, i'm right so it all doesn't matter really

happy holidays

 

I've been using some generic brand CD I got at CompUSA and using Nero (came with the LiteON burner) to convert my MP3s to CD audio and then burn. I have no problems whatsoever. Thats burning at 24x too!!!

 

The only thing I've noticed is that when you burn at faster speeds, it seems to skip a little bit easier. Lower speeds (6x or slower) give me no problems at all with any brand I've tried.

 

my stock dc player plays cd-r that i've made (wave format). it sounds pretty good. surprisingly, it also plays cd-r that's in mp3 format. alright, no more file conversions from mp3 to wave. excellent!

00-pro-lx, touring pkg., 5-speed, tints, fogs, clear lights, lowered, meshes, alum. int., & more, spicy looking.

 

I use el-cheapos...the key is in the speed you burn at, if you burn WAV files on at high speeds, you are a high risk of the disc not working at all, or skipping. Burn at 2 or 4x and you should be fine. All mp3s I have ripped to CD are working just great in my factory deck.

 

Hmm, I have to disagree with you. The speed of the burn doesnt effect the outcome of the quality of the cd. If your computer cannot burn the cd at 12x correctly, then the cd will NOT work in any cd player. Ive burned well over 350+ cds, and I have never had a problem with some working in one player and not another. I have had some el cheapo cds (the ones that are 100 for $10 bucks) and those suck big time...DONT USE . TDKs are the best cdrs in my book, and my TDK burner is the best burner I have ever used.

What kind of cd burner are you using? If you by a cheap brand like Digital Research, then your burner may be at fault.

So far my 6-disc dash unit has played every cdr that I have tried, and most of my cdrs are TDK and black Memorex.

If anyone is looking to buy a cd burner, make sure you buy one with Burnproof or JustLink technology.

Hope this helps...
