Don't know how experienced you are at CDs. Most burners give the option of burning as music or data disk. Older players can't handle MP3s, so music burned as a data disk would play on computer but not older CD players. Same thing with CD-R vs CD-RW. Some (especially older) players are a bit picky.
Tks. Probably the problem. I was burning the CD's using Windows so probably data only - Players in cars are new (09) so that should not be the problem. I'll try burning w/ Nero and see if that fixes things. Much obliged
