How well do CD-R/WAV files play on GM factory CD players?
Question:
Maxell (blue/green) and Kodak (gold) CD-Rs have worked fine in my GM 12 CD factory changer going on 2 years now. Very cool.
: Kind of off topic but I was just wondering if people have had good : luck playing their CD-Rs burned with .wav files on GM/Delco factory : CD players. Or should I just order it with the standard : AM/FM/Cassette and replace it with a Pioneer or Sony aftermarket CD : player? Which car stereos are the most compatible with CD-R’s? :

If you use a program called NERO itll burn streight from MP3 to CDA
Response:
OK, I’ll keep the .wav file and closing the CD things in mind. CD-RW’s don’t work at all?? I was hoping to be able to re-burn them to make mixes of my fave. songs. I have a Sony CD-R/RW drive on order at Egghead, and have a Sony deck in my truck. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Yep.

Audio CD players can only play uncompressed audio that is stored on the CD in a certain way, so just storing a bunch of wave files on a CD won’t do any good. You would have to record as an audio disc. Seems like what mambox.com is doing is putting enough of an OS into the CD player to read an ISO9660 filesystem and then enough software to decompress MPEG-3’s. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > So a disc recorded using *.MP3 format won’t play in a car CD player?

I tried sniffing Coke once, but the ice cubes kept plugging up my nose.

1)MP3 isn’t a better quality. it is compressed. it can only have varying degrees of worse, if ya get what i mean (128, 160, 192…) 2)a regular CD player can not play MP3’s. you need a special CD player to play them. They are available for cars, but last time I looked, they were a fortune. 3)some CD players are buggy when it comes to playing CDR’s. i had an older CD player in my firebird, and they wouldn’t always play in that deck. it didn’t seem to matter what brand CDR i used, it was just kind of random. now in my new jimmy, i have had no problem at all with any CDR’s, including the ones I couldn’t play in my firebird. but the moral of the story is that an CD player can only play .wav (standard audio format) files burnt to an CDR. you need a special mp3 player for mp3’s. hope this helps, roger

Sorry, from what I’ve read there’s no way to get the CD-RW’s and multi-session CDR’s to work in conventional audio CD players. I can verify that the multi-sessions don’t work. I burned a cd to try this out, and closed only the session, not the entire CD and my Technics 5 disc changer refused to play it. Further to my last post, I use Adaptec’s Easy CD Creator v. 4.0 and I believe when you burn a .wav to an audio CD it automatically converts the .wav to .cda (CD Audio) for players other than CD-ROM drives and burners. My HP 8200i is actually a Sony manufactured burner as well, it’s a 120 model I believe, so you’ll probably notice similar results. Adaptec’s software specifically states that if you want to create a cd playable in home or car players you must use closed CDRs. It says that RW and multisessions won’t work. It’s too bad, I love the idea of making mix cd’s and then erasing ‘em when you’re bored with them. Unfortunately, right now, it can’t be done.

Philips put out a portable CD player that plays RWs…But Multisession I dont think will be possible. Also If I burn an Audio CD on a RW using DAO, and put it in my portable panasonic, hit play, then shake it real hard itll start playing. I think maybe RWs TOC is farther out or something. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Sorry, from what I’ve read there’s no way to get the CD-RW’s and > multi-session CDR’s to work in conventional audio CD players.

check out www.mambox.com they are working on a CD Car Deck that plays MP3-CDs (*.MP3 Format on CD) and regular CDs, as well as CDRWs. Not much info on it, but theyre saying Q3. Also their Portable ver. is just around the corner.

Yep. You can convert the .mp3 to .wavs and burn ‘em onto a cdr to listen to in the car. Make sure you close the CD when you’re done (not just the session), as car stereos don’t read multisession CD’s, or CD-RW discs (from what I’ve read anyway, I’ve never tried it). Apparently only closed CDR’s work. It depends greatly on the sensitivity of your player and the quality of the blanks you use how well they’ll work in a given deck. For example, I have an HP 8200i burner, and have used Kodak, Pacific Digital, and Acer CDR’s with no problems in my ‘98 Sunfire GT with factory Delco stereo/CD player (although I do notice that burned discs usually skip a bit easier on bumps than originals, but that’s probably deck speicific also). I’ve burned disks for my friend as well, but his Alpine CD Changer only seems to like the Kodak and Acer disks, not the PDs (He gets no audio track on those for some reason, yet they play fine in my car and in his home stereo player). You’ll have to experiment with brands to see if you have similar results. Darren

Hi Paul! I have a 1997 GMC Safari with CD stereo and the home burnt CD collections plays very well! And its good to know that if someone break in to your car, they wont steal your expensive fullprice CD’s. Reidar Otto

Burn using mp3 format. It’s compressed and has better quality. I don’t see why it should be a problem. I have heard that the CD-R/CD-RW discs scratch easily. I haven’t experienced this, but I can let you know when I get my burner (next week I hope, should ship today). – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Kind of off topic but I was just wondering if people have had good > luck playing their CD-Rs burned with .wav files on GM/Delco factory > CD players.
