I have a stock cd player in my car and I had burned some audio cds to play in it, and it won't play, any reasons why?

 

I'm going to assume you burned them as a data cd and not as an audio cd. Stock cd players can't read one's burned as data. It's also possibly that the cd player just doesn't work. You can verify this by taking a store bought album cd and trying that. They are burned as an audio cd.

 

They don't play any CD's that aren't "factory". I listen to satellite radio so it really doesn't bother me. Only other option is to put the songs on an MP3 player and use an FM adapter to play through your radio.

 

They will play custom mixed CDs so long as they are burned as an audio disc which will fit around 15 songs on it. If you do it as a data disc, which can hold about 140 songs, it will not read it. There are two different ways to burn songs onto a CD.

Another option is to install an aftermarket CD player that'll read both audio and data discs (almost all do it now) or install aftermarket player and use a flash drive to play songs, which is what I do.

 

Forget CDs, just use an iPhone or RCA line input for any other device -- this unit plugs into your OEM CD changer port, problem solved. I have them in both my Camaros -- love them, and easy install!

Yeah.. so spend over $100? I might as well get an aftermarket radio with the ipod hook up :P.

 

Clearly you don't shop around, $50 & NEW:

USA Spec iPod Auxiliary Input GM PA11GM45 | eBay

 

I don't do ebay :P.

 

I just put a Pioneer DDIN MP3/DVD player in my 2000 and called it a day , but I do have an iPod shuffle (small square LCD one) that I have connected to a USB port and then stuff under the console.

But i do prefer those hardwired adapters instead of FM transmitting.

 

Make sure you aren't using RW blank CD's. Most auto players won't play them. Also, if you have used +R CD's, try the -R type or vice versa. Don't use double-layer CD's either.
