You need to use CD-R, not RW discs. Also burn audio CD's (not MP3's) at a relatively slow speed, 12X or less to be compatible with home or in dash auto CD players. Also, if you are using them in auto CD players DO NOT use a paper label.
There are a few newer audio CD players that will play CD-RW's, but unless they specifically say they are RW compatible you must us a CD-R blank.
