Burned CD's don't work on stock unit?

[98SilverGS-T]

I noticed that burned cd's don't work on the stock HU but today i put in an old burned disc and didn't even realized it and it worked fine...Can someone tell me why or how to make cd's so they can play on the stock head unit?
Thanks!

A lot of it depends on how good the burned CD is. Were the 2 CD's burned on the same computer?

Well I just realized the burned cd that worked was burned off of a real cd...that might be the problem
yea they were made off of the same computer too

Assuming your actually making an single session audio CD and not a disk with MP3's or multimode/multisession disks, and finalized/closed the CD, it has more to do with the media. lots of older players lasers were not designed to read CDR's and wind up being very sensitive to the type of CDR if they work at all.

Thanks for the help and I'll have to live with it til' i get a new HU/soudn system. Even more reason for me to get a system

Well you know it reads some CDR's not you just need to figure out if it's the way you made the bad one of the media you used. If both disks came from the same batch then I'd say it's possible you forgot to make it a single session disk or you didn't use wave files and it's not really a audio CD.

wow, i have a 98 with the factory cd/tape deck and 10 disc changer. ive played many burned cds in both the deck and the cd changer. all with different burning speeds and quality discs. from high speed (40x) and cheap (no name brand) cds. they all played flawlessly.

^same here...it shouldn't be a problem for you at all...that's unless-as said earlier-there is a problem in your burning process

Well i might of found the problem...I turned all my music into .wav files and then burned it and it works fine now.
Thanks for all the help
