I have a problem with serious skipping on any CD I burn myself. Although I have lowered and stiffened suspension, retail CDs almost never skip unless it roll over a fairly significant pothole or frost heave. Burned MP3s however, skip in anticipation of a minor crack. It's pretty bad.

There isn't much I can do about it, although if you have experienced this and found some way to mitigate, please let me know. Perhaps a special brand of blank or a particular method of burning.

I use memorex blank cd's they only skip when there is a good size bump or pot hole.

The stock cd changer cant play mp3 format cd's right?

I don't own any 'real' cds (all burned), various brands and they only skip on big bumps. I ran one of those clearer cds through the player when I first got the car and its been fine thus far.

in iTunes then insert a blank of good quality and hit burn down someplace in the lower right corner of the play list page.iTunes will burn a good copy of the play list to the capacity of the disc and it will play on all versions of players I have tried in all the cars I own.
That may solve the issue.Good solid write of 0's and 1's.
Not much of a buffer in those old readers.

stop driving on those east coast roads.Go west young man.Smoother roads ,less skipping ing ing ing ing

Ohlord, I'd rather go south where it isn't 2 degrees like it was this morning here.

What is this 'clearing' CD mentioned?

Also, mine is stock and plays MP3s just fine, as long as the road is glass smooth.

Try wedging the owners manual in between the CD player and the fender wall to minimize the CD player vibrating.

the cd cleaner I used was something like this

Lol, does it specifically have to be the owner's manual, or will any filler do?

ohlord

Still plays any mp3.

CD burners vary in the quality of the CD's they make. In the beginning there were media quality issues but now that's not a problem. The burners that come installed in a PC are usually the cheapest they can spec. Try making a couple of CD's on a different burner and see if it helps.

Also, rear tire pressure?

So you burn it as a data CD with mp3s on it and therefore get more than 80mins of music on a CD?

was w210 ever MP3 compatible......? :S

ohlord

my post on burning in iTunes the old W210 players play mp3's just fine.

Don't you have to pay for iTunes?

go to Limewire.com

ohlord

you can put your music files from your computer in its library.Use it as a default player if you want to.Listen to pod casts etc.
lime wire won't burn to discs.The poster above I think is referring to building your music library,but if you are going to borrow music files
there are much faster and better torrent sites to do that.Not that I know anything about that sort of thing

Oh I have no lack of supply, it is the trunk changer that is the problem. I will try the wedge method.
