Great advice on this thread. Thanks everyone for the heads up. Well, I am going to try the lower speed settings, myself. Wow, is this forum a font of C5 knowledge, or, what?!

I've been burning CD's for a long time and have used Nero, Roxio and Sonic. I've never had to use the slowest burn speed, always used the fastest. The only media that gave me problems are the fancy colored ones, with the gold, green, blue finish, etc. I've had 100% success using the cheapy, silver store brands at Best Buy, Comp USA etc. They have always played in all my CD Players including the vettes. One thing I always do while I'm burning a CD is not do ANYTHING else on the computer while it's burning. In other words, no cruising the internet, playing solitaire, etc. I let the burner and software have all of the puter's resources. I've learned from experience, it can (not always) screw up the burn if you're multi-tasking. Just my 2 cents.

I use a Sony CDR33-W Professional CD recorder with MAM/Mitsui Gold media. It is oh, so, slow, operating only in 1:1 speed, but it is afterall a mastering recorder.
We have found that the media used can make a big difference in playability in the C5 changer. I tried to use some cheap CD-R discs and found that they don't hold up as well over time as the expensive mastering grade ones.

None of the CD's I burned on my PC, which is like 4 years old, would work in the changer but they did in the dash CD player. Even tried burning at 1x! Just got a new laptop and burned one and it worked beauty.
