make sure you "close the session" when burning and it should work.

memorex, sony lots and lots if cheap cdrw . they all worked.
i usually burn with nero and windows media and i have never had any problems.
windows media usually closes burning session on its own after writing on disc is completed.
good luck

no i dont think he's burning mp3's and trying to listen to them with the cd changer.. that wont work for sure.

i think he just means cd rewriteables.. those, ive never tried because i never buy em. the price of regular cd-r's are so cheap that there is no need for the rw's
