Any thoughts,radio programmes recorded will be speech not music.
Thinking of having Kenwood CD fitted in car.

Check the car player can play recordable discs (-R or +R depending on your writer and/or choice). I assume recent ones can.

Only DVDs come in + or - flavours. All CD recordable media use the same format, be that for write once or re-writtable.

Talking of which. I've had few problems using write once (CDR) disks in the car but re-writtable (CDRW) can be a problem. For maximum compatibility it is probably best to use CDR disks only.

I've got a (oldish) Kenwood CD in the car and that plays CDR's without too many problems. It does tend to throw a wobbly however with RWs.

The other thing I've noticed is the recording speed can be critical as to whether the disks are playable or not. I found that I had to record at less than half the quoted max speed for the disks to get reliable results. Even though data disks recorded perfectly at full speed.

The only other thing you have to worry about is fingerprints on the disk! Recordable CD's are very much less reflective than pre-recorded disks so they tend to be far more critical of dirt on the surface of the disk.

A lot of CD players in cars still cant play CD-RW or mp3 cd's. If you are going to use those formats at home to "make the disc", you must make sure the car system can read them. If not, make sure you use CD-R discs at home, and dont use formats such as mp3. This should then work with most in car systems. Recording at the slowest speed on the slowest speed CD-R disc might also be a good idea. PC/Mac's have the option to leave a CD-R recording open ended (for extra stuff to be added on later), or "closed" (where you can't do anything else with it). Some older cd players work better if the recordings are "closed".
