I have learned why some players play CD-R's and RW's and others play them for a little while then BLOW UP! That is NOT because they are thicker or even that they have a less reflective surface thats been compensated for in most players already.

What the problem is......is that the CD-R has more info on the CD and the CD actually controls how fast and how often the player spins to full revs. The player does not run at a constant speed all the time. With a CD-R your player is running full speed all the time kind of like running your car up hill 24-7 at 100 mph! It will run ok for a while then POOF!!!! It smokes itself! Supposibly in some cases it can get re-set by playing a regular CD but its rare.

I have heard this from multiple sources and very very reliable ones for that matter. Hope this clears things up.

 

Where do the stock head units fall as far as CDR's go?

 

shouldn't the proper CD-R M(usic) software correct for this? isnt such software already available?

OR does the medai (CD-R) need to be preformatted to avoid this prob?

 

NON CD-R compatable. As of right now.

The 6 disc changer in my 95 Prelude was CDR compatible. I'm surprised the S2000 one is not.

 

I've been playing CD-R's on my OEM changer as well as the headunit all summer with no problems.

 

Oh, using Adaptec CD Creator, incase that's significant

 

I've never heard of this, nor have I ever had any problems personally with playing CD-R's in any of my stereo's I've owned. I would say that 90% of the CD's I listen to are CD-R's. Can you state the source of this information? I would be interested.
