ViPeR Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Right so my problem is that i've been making music compilations to work in my old Goodmans CD player to take away with me. I've been using Media Player (latest one) with TDK CD-Rs on the slowest burn speed. Now they work no problem in my laptop and my car but for some reason not so well in the player. What I don't understand is that at least the first 2/3 run fine. Though when it starts getting to the end of the CD it starts to skip and can't read the final songs. It can run through an entire retail CD fine although once it has had a problem where it can't start a CD near the end. So is this a problem with the burning process? I've been told a lens cleaner may help? I just don't understand why it has the problem towards the end of the CD. Any help would be appreciated EDIT: Hmm so i've just started my compilation from where it started skipping yesterday. So far it's running it with an odd skip here and there but running all the same. What the shit... Edited May 9, 2011 by ViPeR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Some old CD players simply don't play CD-Rs reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViPeR Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Well i've just cleaned the lens and around with a cotton bud. It managed to finish the CD...Such a weird and specific problem. You'd think it'd just effect the whole CD if it was dirty. How effective are CD lens cleaners? I've heard some people use pure alcohol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
