Can the 6-disc changer play CD-RW's?

Where to start?
1.) What year is your car? With the Acura TL as an example... The 99' won't play CD-R, but the 00'+ will, even though it's the same stereo... Must be a newer revision or something. That being said, my 04.5' G Coupe plays CD-RW just fine.
2.) I don't know what program you use, but Nero lets you make CD-Audio compilations on CD-RW. I do it all the time.
3.) Early DVD's don't play CD-R/RW, because DVD and CD use different wavelength lasers. The standard laser on a DVD player isn't sensitive enough to read the dye of a CD-R/RW. Newer DVD players tend to have Dual-laser pickups.
4.) Compact Disc Digital Audio logo is a trademark of Philips. The licensing arrangement basically allows you to use the logo, if you comform to the published Red Book Standard. As such, there are CD's sold in the market place, in the same section as other audio CD's, that DO NOT have this logo. Like all of those "copy-protected" music CD's. Those don't conform to Red book, and are not allowed to use the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo, because it would be a violation of licensing terms. On the flip side, a vendor is not required to affix this logo, even if they do conform to the published standard. It wouldn't surprise me if the music industry drops the logo from everything, such that you would have no way to differentiate a regular CD from their "protected" cd. I don't believe there is an "official" certification/logo-ing process for the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo, so IMHO it would be pretty dumb to bind this logo as a requirement for anything. (Unlike other logos, that have certification/logoing programs). Especially considering that the intellectual property of said logo is wholly owned by Philips, and not by a standards body, like DVD and DVD-Forum.
