I just bought an inexpensive JVC boombox CD player. It is advertised
as playing CD R/W. Some of my CD-R's play fine, some don't. I tried
to burn the non-playing CD's again on my computer on different CD
brand, they still do not play. Is something wrong with this JVC
boombox? Should we get a better boombox? Or is it a problem that is
bound happen in these inexpensive boomboxes.

I can tell you for sure that modern boomboxes can play CD-Rs just fine. If
you've got a new one that doesn't, it's probably defective. A good modern
boombox should be able to play anything that you can play on just about any
other player, including the burner you used to make it.
