So nothing I'm burning on the CD player in my PC is playing in the car these
days..........usually 1/2 of the ones I burn work - have tried a few different
brands of CDs......is my PC burner screwed?

are you sure you didn't switch the setting over to data? That is my
normal bone head move

How do they play on players other than your car?

No. Car players are the worst type for compatibility with CD-Rs. Some
media may work better than others.

Next worst players are domestic 'changer' type carousel players.

Andy, if the CD player in your car is an older one (don't know if it is),

mentioned something about older CD players not being able to handle CD's
that didn't have at least a dB or so headroom.

I highly doubt that.

I did a few less dbs & it worked but then it went back to being screwed. I
think it's had it's day. I've changed different brands of CDs, varied the burn
times, different burn programs and still the same problem - some work some
don't. It's worse than it's ever been though.

Only thing I could think of was that cheaper players may not have as
sophisticated conversion process and might see something with
unwavering high peaks as some kind of clipping/malfunction state and
thus try to reread the data or skip.

Me too. There is not effort on the digital side in gettting any of the PCM
off the disc. D-As are D-As . What they may be referring to is that the
audio power amp may not be able to adequately pump out full volume peaks,
which is not a situation unique to cars (but can be exacerbated by only a
12VDC supply in 'basic' players).

That's nothing to do with the digital content of the CDs.

That could be it, but I'm pretty sure the subject was in direct reference
to the players themselves... Google it up if you want to verify. I don't
recall exactly how long ago it was, but it was indeed on this group.
