Different CD disks have different reflectivities for the burn/no burn
conditions.
The CD player has a calibration function that enables it to correctly
recognize these conditions.
Depending upon the design of the player, the ability to recognize
disks with different reflectivities vary.

Only a few years ago, it was common for many brands of CD players to
fail to recognize CD-Rs, because insufficient range had been built
into the calibration function.

What you observe has more to do with the player than the disk.

Bob - would the differences in CD player calibration that you
describe be the primary reason that, so I've been told by several,
automobile CD players are very much a gamble when using CD-R's?


What Bruce, this nth repeat of the same misapprehensions, in the face of
Morein's (correct) counter evidence, changes things?

What's unclear about

"Only a few years ago, it was common for many brands of CD players to fail

The obvious meaning is that car player problems with CD-Rs were once a
problem, but they no longer are.

Just another example of your outdated thinking, Bruce.

Given how hateful and libellous your comments about me are Bruce, I could
get some satisfaction out of knowing that you still inflict sonic violence
on your ears with noisy, distorted cassettes. Instead, it just makes me feel
sad because of all of the evidence that this is how you live your life - in
the past. Your claim that you are a published author because of an
off-topic paper you had published in the late 60's is another example of
this. Your thinking about audio seems to be very late-1960s. It appears
that your awareness of audio stopped developing at about the same time.
