I felt like I just walked 10 years back into the past reading this post... who uses burnt cds nowadays.

Those Verbatim CD-Rs were working for the year and a half I've had my CD8051. They just stopped working, for whatever reason. So, I don't know if it is because it is of the quality of the Verbatims or not. I've tried inserting one of those cleaning CD discs and that did not work. I've tried blowing compressed air into the CD player and that did not work. I've tried burning a new CD-R with the Verbatim brand and that did not work, either.

It gets to a point that you have to use one of those cd clean kit where it comes with a disc with brushes attached to clean the lens or laser glass.

What format do you use to burn your music? .mp3 .wav .wma .Flac? I'm guessing since you are using Windows Media player it's .wma format which can give you problems. Flac is the best, it's lossless audio(not compressed) but I'm not sure if it will play on all players. My recommendation would be to use Nero and burn as a mp3. Mp3 will be read by every player. Also like the others said it could be your burn rate. Window media player is junk to burn cd's. There's plenty free software that work alot better. I use Nero and just use a keygen(shhhh don't tell the mpaa lol) so I don't have to pay for it. Lastly like someone else said who still uses CD's anyhow? At least use a dvd-r so u get 4 gigs Instead of 700mb. Hope this helps. Good luck ??

It doesnt matter what software you use to burn, if it produces a audio format cd then it automatically converts all media format to the needed format.
Unless you do a data cd and load it full of flac files or any extension.

Either way you are losing quality and converting no matter what.

Yeah, I know. I am way behind the times. But, I like my CDs and am slow to change.

most older head units dont play flac, most support wav and mp3

the only brand HU I know of that can play DVD mp3's is JVC. Back then there was no such thing as mp3 CD players until it came out one day and bam! every HU has it now. A true audio CD player only reads .wav files, nothing else. A lot of the converters out there converts the song into 128kbps mp3's and then you burn it back into a CD and you've just lost like more than half your music quality there. Then you pass it along to a friend and they convert it down some more, and so even if you reconvert it back to 320kbps, you will never get back what you lost. Flac is pretty much the best quality u can get but comes at a cost. It takes up too much damn space. It's rare that you'll find a flac player in headunits but they are out there. mp3's in general just saves so much time moving everything back and forth, which is why it became the standard. Apple came up with the m4a format, which is also very good. If I were to integrate those 200 CD's in today's world, I would just convert them into the highest bitrate mp3 and store them all in a good sized hard drive. Keep the CD's stashed away safe for backup and avoid potential scratches.
