My car is a 97, and it wont play a burned CD, is there anyway to fix that?

I'm sure you already know this, but it's not the car that matters. It's the stock player you have. I've had some stock cd players play some burned cd's and not the others. I've also had some players play a burned cd for a while, then for no reason, stop playing them. The variables are the players and the types of cd's used. And yes, sometimes the types of cd-r's make the difference. I would suggest going to www.crutchfield.com and ordering a new stereo for your vehicle. You can usually find a decent cd player/mp3 player that will work with any cd you burn.

Also, are you trying to make an audio cd or an MP3 cd? Most stock players that are that old will not play mp3 cd's. The format is completely different. It's like trying to put an 8-Track in your casette player (if that doesn't show my age).

That's the problem, it has an ORIGINAL stereo. You need to buy a new cd. That cd player doesn't have the means to read the "burned" cds. Walmart has cd players starting as $50...

You're burning CDs in the wrong format. Burn in the original format (probably CD-DA) or as a .wav file. Or replace the stereo in your car.

Its because in 97 some cars didn't have mp3 technology so the cd players cant play mp3 cds only wma...before you burn your cd change the songs to wma instead of mp3 format. this can be done on windows media player

It depends on the radio. Some play burned Cds come dont. To fix this you would have to replace your head unit (stereo). Its that simple. :)

Get a commercially sold CD, if it plays there is nothing wrong with the stereo.

Get a new up to date CD player.

They are only about $70 for a good one.

I have a 91 and it plays burned CD's, I can also hook up my MP3 player to it as well.

By getting a new CD player, that's how

Only way to change it is to buy a new cd player for it.

i would by a new stereo..

some are picky

i have a 97 car and now mine works fine once i bout one and installed it.
