So, this may be a stupid question, but is there no way that you can make your stereo play CDRWs? I mean, I've heard that most players can't play the cd's, which is rather unfortunate, I think - but why is it so?

Anyway, I was hoping there was somekind of shortcut around this, maybe installing somekind of neat plug-in to make your CDRWs playable.


Thanks. :D



PS: Pardon my ignorance, if you're laughing your butts off, but I just think it's plain lame, that there's no way around this (apparently).

I would like to know this also, it would make my life a lot easier.

I think a lot of CDplayers say 'CD-RW compatible' on them dont they?

Recently gotten a CDRW drive. Have to say it works solidly. :thumbsup:

I'd burn some of my MP3s onto a CDW (note - not rewritable) as an audio CD. It runs on my 4 yrs old or so Discman. ;) Except for one track... :( Must try again, one of these days.

One thing I found out is that if you burn a cdr(w) you may need to burn it all in one session - ie copy all tracks at once then close it. I used to do this for my in car cd and it worked fine and even play on my hi-fi cd player (but not on a dvd player)

If you try multi-seesion a lot of music cd players can't handle it - I wasted a few cds until I figured this out.

I've never tried CDRW, but we have CDRW-writer. I don't see the point in using them over CD-Rs, unless there's some data you want to backup or move between PC's.

I agree with what fungus said. Use CD-Rs, faster to burn to, cheaper, and will work with most CD-players.

Thanks for calling me fungus, munzy;)
