Just for the hell of it I erased and burned a CD-RW disk today with one track on it, just to see if by any chance it would play in my car. Well it did !!! Is it just me... or aren't regular cd players NOT supposed to be able to play CD-RWs ?? I have a Sony Xplod ES MS-750 in my car. I also erased it and made a video cd with a couple videos on it and it played just fine in my DVD player. This is awesome.. not I get to carry around ONE disk instead of 10 CDRs. LOL

Good deal.

I know my Clarion isn't supposed to play CDR's and it does so quite fine. I'll have to try a CDR-W and see if it works.

 

I've noticed that most of the new ones will handle cd-rw now, but they generally let you know on the box... Didn't know about the DVD though, what did you put on the cd-rw that the DVD was able to play?

im curious too. What format were the videos in that you were able to play in you DVD player.

 

Well like I said it was a VideoCD. I took a couple of .mpg music videos that I had on my hard drive and using easy cd creator 5 I made a video cd. Quite simple actually.

 

Just .02 from a proffesional computer geek who knows CD burners and car audio:
A a really good quality CD player should probably play RW's, but i've never tried it. Usually older or cheaper players don't like em though, that goes for CDRs too. I think it has to do with the fact that a CDR has about 20% of the reflective quality that a pressed CD does, and a CDR is like 30-40%.
