some stereos are designed not to play copied cds it could be that the one in the car is one of these.
sorry couldnt be more help0 -
Try burning one on CD-R (Write Once) as opposed to CD-RW (Rewritable)
CD-RW's are less reflective than CD-R's IIRC and this means that lots of CD Players can't read them.

[move]THANKS!!![/move]
Just bought some CDR's and they work perfectly on the car stereo and my old stereo (12 years old) upstairs. What would I do without MSE.com?
Only problem now is what am I going to do with 15 CDRW's?**BERTIE**Did you Know: It costs more than £325,000 a day to run the lifeboat service? (with no government funding) Please donate to the RNLI0 -
Erase them. They are ok for backing up stuff.
