We'll start a list of the known brands that work in the player.

I'll edit this as people add onto it, then maybe a FAQ can be made at some point.

CD-R:

Memorex 700MB 80 Minutes (white faced)
Imation 700MB 80 Minutes
Maxell 80 Minutes

CD-RW:

Maxell 1x-4x 700MB 80 Minutes
Memorex 4x 80 Minutes

 

Cd-R Imation 80min

 

why would the brand of cd affect it? Maybe im just stupid or something but i would think that if anything burners would be one of the few things that affect this at all. Have people had trouble with mp3 cd's not working?

 

Some brands do not work.
Whether it be the color of the cd or the thickness of the plastic layer, or whatever they use for the metal sheet inbetween. I do not know what exactly affects it, but their are certain kinds that do not work well

 

CD-RW Memorex 80min 4x work perfectly

 

Maxell CD-R 80 works in my 05.
