Do CD-R's play on your player? If no, why not?

Mg123,

Design choice or maybe the way that you burn the CDs. Many players won't correctly play CDRs or if they do they skip. I've found software used with computer CD burners produces inconsistent results. My stand alone Philips CDR 880 is slow using realtime but it works almost everytime.

It may be an issue with the difference between data CD-Rs and Audio CD-Rs. Try and buy an Audio CD-R (more expensive cause royalty included) and give it a try. The Audio CD-Rs I've burned on my real-time Pioneer CDR work in car, home, portable and boombox.

Madrigal says that their Levinson M37 transport will not (or may not?) play CD-Rs, but mine does. In fact I've never had a CD-R that didn't play in the M37. Like Swampwalker, I use "Audio" CD-Rs mostly, but others have sent me computer burned CD-Rs that also play in the M37. I would think that the Proceed uses the same transport and laser reading system as the 37, but maybe not? Or is your Proceed an earlier model? Good Luck. Craig

Some player reportedtly won't play CDRs that are burned at faster speeds. I had heard that the Levinson 39 would not play CDRs and therefore did not consider buying it. I took a CDR over to a friends who has 39 and it worked, the CD I used was burned at standard speed.

My Sony DVP-9000ES plays DVD's, CD's and SACD's, but it is does NOT playing CDR's. Interesting, since Sony is one of the major music distributors.
