Is it a factory CD player, or after market one? Is it with ANY burned CD's. Did you burn the music files as MP3's or what format(MP3's wont work you have to convert them to another format). My 96 EX factory CD player will play burned ones just fine. Are you using CD-RW's? Will the burned CD's play in other CD players, or just in the orgin burner (be sure you select "close session" when burning a music CD)
