Hey gang. New to the forums. Having some issues with my burned audiobooks. Burning them is not the issue, the problem I'm having is when I play them in my cd/mp3 player in my car, the tracks are out of order. It seems that track 10 will play before track 1, etc.

When I view the files for the burned cd, they appear to be in chronological order.

I'm using Nero 6 to burn them. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Is the same thing happening to the player inside your house? It may be that your car player is not reading them well, else is having problems reading the TOC which lists the details and order of the songs. The TOC is first item burned to a CD which tells the player where to find things on the CD.

Particularly for car players it's important you choose good quality CD-R's, and burn at minimum speed possible. Some car players have problems reading the super fast types of cd-r's, and others the disks that are burnt at high speed. If you have a cd that is only say 1-20 speed, try that instead, and burn at minimum speed it will allow you to.

Oh there may be an issue with the cd-g or whichever format has been used in that the car player doesn't read it properly.

I'll give that a shot... thanks for the advice!

Something else I forgot to mention, whilst nowadays 'some' car players "might" be able to play CD-RW's, most can not. CD-RW's do not read as easily as CD-R's. Due to the difference in manufacture and physical qualities of the actual disk, their radiance or magnetism if you like is not as bright and more difficult for players to read. (I can't remember what it's called but I think you know roughly what I mean.)
CD-RW's are made differently so they can be re-written.

In my experience, definitely quality and brand of cd-r made a difference. Including speed type and speed burnt at. But that's a few years ago now.
