2005 cd player question

Sorry about that...

Melissa

Has it occurred to you to try a store bought cd and not a copy you make to see if what GM is saying is correct?

The last store bought cd I bought wouldn't play at all. The copy plays. The original just keeps erroring and being ejected. I can try some other originals, but I still think her answer is nonsense. I understand that burned cd's are damaged easier than a purchased one, and usually you can tell if there are scratches. This doesn't seem to the case...the problem is intermittent.

Did you run a CD Cleaner in the player? It sounds like dirt is in there or on the CD itself.

Take that store bought cd, plus a few others with you to the dealer and ask them to explain why they don't work. Would think it's still under the bumper to bumper warranty and that the player should replace it. I burn music on cdrw disks and never had one not work in my Dodge Dakota nor my Pontiac 98 Grand Prix.

No offence, but I have never had a CD-RW that would play in a car. CD-R's yes, not the RW's.

No offence taken. I've never used CR-R's for music as the CD-RW's allow me the obvious advantage of re-use when I tire of the music.

Now if they could only make a stock car stereo capable of playing DVD-RW's. Nothing like 4.5 gig's of MP3's! ;-)

That would hold a lot of songs, at least many of the automakers are offereing mp3 capable cd players and there are plenty of after market makers. I have a Philips boom box that does mp3 on cdr or cdrw and use it a lot to play my huge collection of Old Time Radio shows, works great. It was great when I bought it but I just picked up a Sandisk 1gb mp3 player for $35 and it holds almost twice as many OTR shows as a cd does.
