Using Blank CD's

[gaz_360]

Hi
My clio's got a standard CD/Tuner set up currently, and as theres not a lot decent on the radio I burnt a CD on my computer from some other CD's I had lying around to do a sort of mix tape, but the CD won't work in my car. It works everywhere else fine, but when I try and play it in my car it comes up with 'ERROR' and bleeps at me. Does anyone know if the standard head units accept burnt CD's, or is it maybe down to the make of CD im using?

Are the files MP3? I'm not sure the standard units support MP3 playback.

If you burn it using Windows Media Player it will play fine. The standard unit doesn't play mp3s so if you've just dragged mp3 files onto the disk it won't work

Yeah they have been comverted to MP3 as I had them in my media player libary to go on my ipod. When I then went to burn them to the disc it said it converted them, however what it converted them to im unsure. I didn't drag and drop, I did it using windows media player, and slected 'Audio CD'?

Could be the brand of CD, I know for a fact I have a few discs from poundland that read fine on the PC but they either "error" when going to be used somewhere else or they play but the track numbers and lengths are all wrong and it starts tracks in a random order and about 3/4 of the way through the song.

some cds dont reflect the lazer well enough. Different dye`s are used. Try another brand of cdr

fake/burnt cd's work in mine mate dnt know about any of the above techno crap though

Just when you burn them make sure you choose the option of burning them as an audio CD, not mp3 like it gives you the option in Windows media player, and Itunes I think.

CDRs work in my headunit and multichanger, it does say ERROR sometimes but work if you eject then try again.
