Burnt CD's

Some CD's that I've burnt don't work so well in the player. Anyone have success with a particular CD brand???

I've had good luck with all brands...

Everything from the no name brands like office depot to the "high end" HP discs.

I've tried several brands, but it's a hit and miss deal.... the player states "bad disc" sometimes reinstall and it plays... WTF? all disc seem to be ok in the wifes escape tho..

try a different program to burn the cd's or burn them at a slower speed

you might also try using a cd head cleaner ( a special disk with a little brush on it and some cleaning solution) usually available at any store selling electronics

I've used all brands and they have worked without fail in my F-150 (it has the CD player and the tape player), my wife's Escape and my Towncar with a Panasonic 6 disc changer. Brands don't seem to make any difference. Maybe it's the burner or it needs cleaning.

good point, I had forgotten that some of the cd players are CD only, not MP3/CD...make sure to specify in your options to burn as an AUDIO cd if you don't have the MP3 player
