Radio Problems
I have a problem with my 1997 Corvette. My Bose Delco Radio CD player will not play any CDs that I have burned on my computer,,, plays regular store bought CDs just fine. My question is,,,can I get any Delco radio off like EBAY or do I need to make sure it is a Bose radio? There are a lot of radios for sale. I don't know where the Bose comes into play,,,is it the speaker system or is it the radio itself? What do I need to watch out for,,,,,thanks to all

maybe this is a stupid question, but are you by any chance making a real CD or making a data CD full of .mp3's?

I had problems with one of my cars playing them also until I started recording them at the slowest speed I had available, think that was around 4x or 8x. When I did that they would play fine. Also it wouldn't play CD-RW's, only CD-R's. HTH.

Using CD-R -"Music" (not data) discs may help, mine has no prob. W/these. My home recorder won't reconize these (data). (2K cpe)
