41 I will see about buying a CD player cleaning disk. I suppose they
42 still make those.
43
44 I've used 3 different spindle of CDs before I started the thread. I'm
45 happy to try 'better' media if I can determine what that means without
46 guessing.
47
48 Here's an example. The first printout is the original CD-R I copied.
49 It plays fine in the car. The second and 3rd printouts are copies of
50 that CD-R. Neither plays in the car. However other CD-Rs copied the
51 same way do play.

220 Both of the 'bad' CD-Rs are rippable in iTunes on my Windows laptop.
221
222 The issue here is clearly the car, but only with some CDs, and those
223 CDs are consistently bad.
224
225
226 I will see if I can decipher the cdrecord help file to try burning a
227 copy that way.
228
229 Thanks,
230 Mark
