I have an old Honda with a stock CD player. Certain CD's that I've burned only work sometimes. They typically fail in the morning or when it is raining/wet. I'd rather not go through the bother and expense of installing a whole new audio system.
Questions:
- Is there an easy way to fix the player to work better?
- Is there a brand of CD-R that is more reliable? It seems that I can play a Memorex CD-R all the time but the Maxell CD-R's most often. My Memorex CD-R is several years old, so I'm hesitant to buy more hoping it's really the same material years later.
- Could it be my burner? The discs that work are older burnt from a desktop. The ones that fail are from a laptop. I don't have a desktop anymore so it's not too easy to try.
I'm open to other ideas and suggestions as well.
Answer
It could be a burner issue; try burning slower, at 4x or so, and see if those discs work better.
You can use the excellent ImgBurn if your normal burning software doesn't provide a friendly means of specifying the burn speed.
Oh, and make sure you aren't moving your laptop when you're burning.
