Car CD/MP3 player won't play newly burned mp3 CDs

I burned an mp3 cd on a Verbatim, Sony and TDK CD-R, all of which apparently won't play on my Pioneer car CD/mp3 player. However, an older mp3 CD I had made months ago plays fine.

Brand of CD doesn't seem to make a difference. I burned the last 2 CDs at 16x, so I doubt burn speed is the problem. The CD that did play (the old one) was a TDK.

Any idea what the problem might be?

did you close the CDs?

I didn't check off the "allow multisession" option. Perhaps that wasn't enough? I forget if there's an actual "Close CD" option elsewhere.
 
Well unless something changed from the defaults, I assume the ISO format is the same as it was before, whatever that was. 🙂
 
Do any of you think the problem might be the CD/MP3 player? Granted, it plays the old CD fine, but I tried the new MP3 CD on my sister's bookshelf system and it played fine.

Sounds to me that you have to let the discs sit around for a while. Once they qualify as older mp3 cd's, try them again.

What kind of head unit? Mine stopped reading discs burned from Nero. I dunno why. If I use WinXP's built in software it reads the mp3s fine. 😕 Try that.
