Default CD player doesn't like burned CDs

I have an 04 SC430 and have problems listening to burned CDs. I use Nero to create the CD copies and get a lot of skipping.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?


Thanks,

Mark (da-bizket)

I never burn cds since I dont endorse piracy. Other than that, I have no problems with TDKs and Sonys.

I purchase CD-R's based on the whatever's-on-sale method (Memorex, Kingston, etc) and have never had a problem.

While I haven't noticed a difference between the quality of the burn based on the program used (I've used Nero in the past as well as Real Player's burner) I have seen a difference when varying the SPEED at which they're burned. Even though they may be "52X rated" CD's, I found it works better if you back it down to like 4X or so.

I'd suggest you try that, at least to experiment.

I use Nero also and I had the same problem. I was using some cheap media from Ebay and when I upgraded to a name brand media like Memorex I never had the problem again. Just don't put the paper labels on as they will jam up the changer. I bought a LightScribe burner and now just burn the song titles right on the CD.

Make sure you're burning the files in wav. format and not mp3. If you burn cd's through Windows Media Player, it will burn it in wav.

I recommend slowing down the burn/write speed. It can also be the process you are using to burn. Either its burning files directly from the computer or copying the CDs (on-the-fly) or running other application in the background during the burning process will effect the outcome.
