Hi, all,

I'm hoping someone in this group can give me some advice.

I am trying to make copies of my demo to send out and I want them to be reliable. My acid test is my car CD player. If the CD will play there, it will play anywhere.

The cheap-o TDK CD-R blanks from Costco work fine, but if I turn off the car engine while the CD is playing and then turn the car back on, they start skipping badly. This only happens with CDs *I* burn - not commercial CDs.

I thought it might be the media, so I did a little research and found that Mitsui seems to make the best media for audio. The Mitsui gold CDs are like a dollar apiece, but the Mitsui Digital Audio Silver CD-R's got just about as good a rating (four stars) for about half the cost. Yeah, baby. I ordered a stack.

So far, they're awful! They don't play on my car stereo at ALL and on my home stereo, they're filled with noise - a sort of pulsing static in the background.

What am I doing wrong? These are supposed to be good CDs for audio! I am at a loss. I'm burning them in my PC using Prassi PrimoCD Plus. Other people make CDs that work. Why can't I?

Thanks!

Jody
 
I really think it's usually the burner and not the CD's that create problems. I personally have been using VERY cheap CDR's from Office Depot (Spin-X) that cost $3.00 per 50 pack after a rebate. They are completely blank silver on top and silver on bottom. They have all worked perfectly for me, and I have now made about 150 demo CD's with these.

I have burned onto CD's that other people have had problems with and they work fine on systems when I made the discs. I use a simple HP burner with Easy CD Creator5

It's the burner, or the s/w.... it isn't likely to be the media...........
