View Full Version : Warm car temp causes burned CD to skip

I have burned 3 different brand name labelled CD's with music using Roxio Easy CD Creator on a combo DVD/CD burner in my PC. All of the CD's exhibit the same problem, they begin to skip when the CD gets excessively warm. It only happens in my car (a new Z) player and usually when the outside temp is above 90 degrees. It can happen in the winter when the heater is running. If I pull out the CD and let it cool off, it will play fine until it gets hot again. I've played commercially available CD's in my car and not seen the problem. I burn at 16X speed.
Any ideas??

For music CD's I never burn over 8x and usually stay at 4x

I have never ran into a skipping CD, even in the middle of summer (and it get hot here!) on crappy brand CD's. And my stereo is just stock from Hyundai (BTW, I love my 2003 Tiburon)

I usually burn music CD's at 52x and I've never had any problems with skipping unless it's in the actual track, in which case, I get a new file. When I burn VCD's and stuff like that I burn at 4x or 8x.

Thanks for the info, I'll try some CDs at 4x and see if the problem disappears. BTW I love my Z too!

Try using nero, it might give you better results.

My newly burned 4X speed CD skipped today. I am retrying a CD I bought a few years ago to see if it will skip. If it doesn't skip, I give up!

Use Nero to burn your CD's. Of course it could just be a bad bunch of CD's. I've had that happen to me before.

I have burned CD's from 3 different manufacturers (Verbatium, Memorex, and Fuji), and they all skip. I have Nero and I used it to burn some backup CD's on my old Windows 95 PC, but had some problems getting it to recognize CD's on my new XP PC. Rather then try to figure out what was wrong, I switched to Roxio. My commercially burned CD hasn't skipped yet in 3 days of use in my car. I'll reinstall Nero and try burning again.
