same deal with DVD + and DVD - . Theres no standard, only certain machines will play either dvd + or dvd -. Not sure about the cd-rw's I dont know why they wouldnt work, its a different format, well kinda. But my cd will play sound files burned as a straight mp3 or .wav file. try burning a test song on a cd-rw in both formats and see if one may work
Aye it's a formatting problem. A CD-R (once it's closed/finalized) acts just like regular CD. A CD-RW is essentially a big floppy disk. Your cd drive has to be able to work within whatever OS the cd-rw was created in. All CD-R's should work in our factory players but it still can vary. The drive in my living room stereo has no trouble with CD-R but the boombox in my gym chokes on them without fail. Same manufacturer but the boombox is about five years old.

Jax - So you've played a cd-r with mp3s in the factory unit? Just curious as it'd be really nice to just keep everything in MP3 rather than converting to wav and burning a standard size cd.
