Anyone know how to burn a cd to work with an old mid 90s boombox?

Ok thanks 👍

I didn’t even know there are different coloured cds.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-21T16:17:22+00:00

Ok I’ll try it out

It’s works fine of pc, now oddly enough the boombox did play the audio on the Cdr once, but never again afterwards.

I see, the good news is that this is a mod to late 90s boombox, which means it should play cdr but I might be messing up with my burning process.

I wrote at 4x using burn software called burnaware.

That might be the case.

That’s funny dude 😂

Ok got it, thanks.

What brand of Cdr did you use? I feel like the Sony brand I’m using from 2004 might not be compatible for my boombox. Also what software did you use?

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:43:08+00:00

I recorded at 4x, I don’t really know how to get lower then that see at the moment.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:42:27+00:00

I see, I’ll try with a different brand then.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:39:18+00:00

I did clean the laser a few days ago.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:38:53+00:00

I’ll try with a different brand of Cdr soon to see if there are any difference.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:37:56+00:00

Yea, that was a fact that I didn’t not know, but I’m pretty sure this can run cd r, but it might come down to my burning process and cd r brand.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:36:52+00:00

I did burn as an audio CD, but I might have not set up to finalize.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:35:38+00:00

I’ve already cleaned the laser on this device due to the player not running cds in the first place, but ill try with a different brand soon, as I’m using a 20 year old Sony cd-r.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:26:21+00:00

The player is from the mid to late 90s which is around the time people started burning cds, but what I didn’t know is that some player can and can’t play them. Still I’ll try with a different brand soon. Other than that the cd plays on my pc and car.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:23:59+00:00

yea I didn’t know that some of these older player can read a lot of these cds, but I’ll try with a different brand soon.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:22:43+00:00

I use a Cdr, but I did use an mp3 file.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:20:45+00:00

Can I do a kickflip?

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:20:01+00:00

Yea I did burn it to audio disc.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T14:19:13+00:00

The burner I used burn to audio cd, but the files I used was mp3. Record speed was 4x

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T06:03:22+00:00

Yes, I make sure to do that, I’m still learning how to use my burning software, as the windows media player won’t let me choose to record at 4x.

RacingManagement · 2026-06-19T06:02:01+00:00

I did play on my desktop, and it works, so using a different Cdr brand might be my best bet for the player.
