Burning cds for Use in Car

Have a Toyota car cd player, and finding that most burned cd's do not play with an ERR 1 code

It does play the old TDK RW Gold and some older orange book TDK Cds, but have found that it does not like any of the newer TDKs, even when it's claimed on the packaging to be made in Japan. Similar results with locally available current issues of other brands.

My last shot is for an order of Taiyo Gold online.

It would be nice for Itunes to include a few more Nero-like options (e.g. view burning drive) back into the Preferences/Advanced/Burn. In fact the help in its current form has not been updated since Itunes 7.

Will update on how the Taiyos go.

Burning at 4X on the Taiyo Golds worked. The format was mp3. There was nowhere else to go as this was the last roll of the dice.

The playlist/burnlist does not give a total playtime/burntime in seconds, only minutes. This is really quite important for those of us who really want to distribute those last spare seconds "wisely".

Also option for burn gaps 1.25 secs, 1.5 secs, 1.75 secs etc would be nice, too.

Wanting to burn the m4A format for the car cd player but no spare CDs at present.

Would it work, is the burning question?

Click it.

If you mean burning an audio CD from a playlist that contains one or more m4a songs, the answer is yes.
