Default accord 00 coupe cd player help

I recently just purchase a accord 00 coupe EX. Very happy with the car except for the cd player. The cd player has problems reading cdrs discs, some disc it reads but load very slow or switch tracks very slow, some it wouldn't read at all. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? Its a stock cd player BTW. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or know which brand of cdrs would be best to use? Thanks in advance for the help!

High quality ones like Memorex work in mine. Try switching brands.

I remember buying a 50 pack of at@t discs from Best Buy. They were on sale for 10 bucks. The first pack burned very well. I went to buy another and most of them were crap. I've got an 00 accord ex with the stock cd player and it couldn't read about 30% of the finalized discs. They turned out to be CMC discs, using liteon's smartburn.exe. I learned that there is more to cd-r's than just name brand loyalty.

Here's an article on how CD's are manufactured and rebranded.

Then there's a forum discussion by CD nerds who do crazy benchmarks on error checking with countless CD's.

Don't start mudslinging!!! If I rate you favourite discs as garbage, so be it. But don't bitch about it....

I may have forgotten some manufacturers, but here we go:

Note this is the manufacturers, not the disc brand.

TOP 10(the best first):
Kodak
Mitsui toatsu
Richo made by richo(not those made by ritek).
MPO
Fujifilm (their new phthalocyanine media is REALLY good)
Tayo yuden
Prodisc
Acer gold
ritek(and richo made by ritek), only phthalocyanine
Moser baer india/multimedia masters & machinery, only phthalocyanine type.

BOTTOM 10(the worst first):
Fornet international (only cyanine type)
CMC Magnetics
AMS Technology
Lead data
Xcitek
XEO Corporation
Multimedia masters & machinery (only cyanine type)
TDK
Ritek (only cyanine type)
Mitsubishi chemicals/verbatim

I may have forgotten some that should have been put in between some of these, but it at least gives a rough overview on what experiences I have.
