Why don't some songs play in my CD Changer?

So my car is equipped with the CD changer and when I put in the CDs and try to listen to some songs from it, some songs won't play. Then when I put the CDs in my regular CD player behind the Nav it WILL play. So what could be wrong? Btw these are burned CDs with like 20 songs on em.

Just a guess the nav system reads mp3's while the cd changer doesent.

Haha!

Seriously, are the disc CD-RW or CD-R? My truck had this thing where it wouldn't read CD-RW and certain CD-R... not sure if that's your issue.

Thats strange. My car is a 2007 and I have had many burnt mp3 cd's in the changer. the head unit won't play them though. The annoying things are that it will not go above track 99 nor does it show track title and info. My radio in my '09 Chevy Colorado will play at least 150 tracks on a cd and will also display the song title and info as well as use the sub folders. The Merc won't show info or categorize into the folder. Bizarre.

Yea exactly what happens to me, it drives me nuts, lol, and I tried putting an MP3 into my 6 disc but it won't play, everything else in my car I love except this. lol

And I think Mercedes should have made the screen say the track name and artist.
