CDs being created as audio discs are not working right?

[IHateMyJob2004]

I am burning some 80 minute CD-R's on my DVD burner. Everything has worked fine in the past.

Problem lately is the following. Whenever I burn an audio CD, it plays back fine in hte computer. Tracks work and everything. But when I try and listen to it in my truck's CD player or stand alone CD player, I get the following problem. The CD can only be played from beginning to end. I can not track forward or scan or else the CD player can't find the right spot on the disc. I remind you, in the compuiter, it works fine. When data is loaded, the player will say it has 15 tracks and 50 minutes of music, but the actual playback is acting up. It will stay on track 2, and say -9 minutes played so fa if it's on song 5 perhaps. Very odd.

The only thing different than in the past is the CD-R blank brand. Bought some that were on sale. I am currently using Sony's and they are giving me this problem.

Anyone have this problem or know what is going on?

EDIT: Using Nero 6

The problem lies not with your truck or the CD itself.

It's how it is burnt that affects playback.

You see, when you burn a CD with newer CD/DVD writers, the data is much smaller than what your truck's cd player/boombox can recognize (such as stamped CD's). I've also had similar problems.

If you burn a CD too high (IE: above 12x) other players might not recognize it, but your computer's cd/dvd drive will be able to thanks to it being much more precise and newer.

Best bet, burn at 2x or lower for music CD's and higher if you want for Data CD's.

Ahhhh, I see. I've tried 8x also? Might be the brand though. Hrmmmm, sadness.

Confirmed. DVD player in my PC at work also plays the disc just fine!

Seeing how my Memorex discs from the past work everywhere, I'm guessing it's the brand.

Thanks for bringing logic to the confusing situation.
