Anyone use CD-RWs for their car?

Can you recommend a brand?

I just use whatever's cheapest.

I'm just unsure of which one to use. The CD-RW I have now (4X, from 4 years ago) didn't work when I stuck it in a few months ago, yet it worked just now.

Maybe you're burning too fast? I have found that no matter what media I use if it doesn't work, reducing the burn speed usually fixes it.

That's because CDRWs aren't supposed to work in regular CD players. Use CDRs.

True. I didn't realise he was talking about RWs.

CD-RW has always seen like such a waste to me... each time you want to use the disc you have to erase the old data and then burn it again.

Discs are so cheap anyway why bother?

Never reburned it. Dug it up to try this "new idea" of mine to make an audio CD and burn it in my car, only to realize it was already an audio CD. Stuck it in the car again and it worked.

I used them for school when they first came out. But now that they have USB drives they are worthless.

They should be nowadays, right? Best Buy has Audio CD-RWs that are for use with CD Players compatible with CD-RWs.

Most cd players still aren't CDRW compatable.

Tired of having so many discs just lying around, seems like such a waste.

If 0.25/disc is "such a waste" to you, you have no business owning a car or paying for internet access to your cardboard box.

Plenty of audio devices advertise that they play CD-RW.

But my experiences with cheap RW stuff aren't very good. I've had CompUSA media with metalization that started peeling almost immediately (!), then later I tried a batch of 10X unbranded, they skip all over the place in audio players, no matter what speed I burn them at.

I have Verbatims that seem to work in everything. I'd get a real brand name. Overall I'd never trust anything important to RW media, it's unstable crap.

Thanks.

I've had a CD-RW peel pretty soon after I used it, too, and it was a Philips CD-RW.
