I've noticed throughout my career that CDs get torn up pretty quickly in my truck cd players. I can understand that, because of how rough they ride..especially in some of the states i run.... (just got out of pennsylvania!)
I only use cd-rs because i dont like to tear up real cds. Most of my music is legal though..
Is there a way to repair them that's actually cheaper than making a new one? I'm burning a new one to replace one that i got mad and through out the window the other day because it wouldnt play. LOL. This is so wasteful to replace them.
CDs getting torn up in trucks?

Some stereos have a usb slot on the front that you could plug a 2-4GB memory stick into and just play mp3s. There's several ways to do that.

Agreed, go digital, far cheaper, easier to create larger play lists.
-
ya,either go that way or if youd rather keep useing cds theres a cd buffer you can get that buffs the scraps out of the cds but id go with a mp3 player.mines a rca mp3 player,i just plug it into my aux hole in the cd player and there ya go.

As a way of actually providing some useful info in addition to my smart ### remarks. In the past, I have taken original Cd's that were scratched beyond car stereo function. Slapped them in my computer and burned a copy that functioned perfectly.
Or, for about $50 you can transfer every CD you own plus a couple hundred more onto an Mp3 player like Sandisk Sansa Clip, which is about the size of a pack of matches. -
youve gotta be kidding me if you think that ive never heard of an mp3 player.
heres the thing, my preferred mp3 player was always my mp3 cd player in a car stereo. and its still prone to scratches :/
scratches only seem to be a big deal in the truck though.
Kansas, my cds arent "real". im not THAT stupid. they're all made off mp3s or copied off other cds.
I like CDs because i can put them in my truck, i can put them in my car, i can put them in...anywhere. -
KW sells a heavy duty CD player. Weird our T6 hasn't screwed any up.

Now THAT just might get a bit uncomfortable!

throw away your cheap cd player and get a good one espically if its a factory cd player,there crap.I use a alpine ina-w900 cost about $870.00 does great.

i have noticed that the cd's that you burn don't hold up as well as the original ones.
