Default What speed and Software you use on a 04 BOSE to write a CD?

Hey Guyz,

I was wondering what speed and software you use to burn mp3 and wav for you BOSE, one of my cd's that I burned earlier works fine, but nowadays it skips alot, so I thought the whole HU was messed up but I was lisetening to a mixtape (CD, Indie artist) recently, and It worked fine. So what are the prefect settings for the CD to work properly?

Thanks a lot

Sounds to me like you problem is your head unit. They are notorious for skipping, esp when it's cold outside. If you're under warranty your dealer should be happy to swap it out for you. Just a caution though: the new one you get may skip just as badly a few months down the road.

Cheers

From what I understand....when burning a disc at the slowest possible
speed will extend the life of the disc. (with proper care)

When burning at higher speeds, the laser is burning as deep into the
disc as it would at the slower burn speed.

The Laser isn't really burning/cutting anything, only changing the color of the solution layered between the lexan sheets with focused heat. There is no difference between burning at 1x or 52x when it comes to disc longevity, only quality of the media.

If you have CDs that work well with your unit, then it's probably the media you're using. To begin with, use a high quality well known brand (like maxell, sony, memorex etc...). Even then some may not work well in your head unit. Not all media is made the same, so one laser will read it fine where another will have difficulty. Each CD player has a recommended brand that it is optimized for. Sometimes the brand will be in the literature, other times you have to contact the manufacturer.

If you have some CDs that work well, use the same type media. If you have done this, then your laser may be on the edge of being able to read the discs, but not centered well in the comfort zone. It's time to change disc manufacturers.

Look for blank CD's that have a darker color coating on the burnable side. I find that the cheaper CD-r's from staples or any other low cost brand; dont work so well on OEM CD heads. The CD-R's with a darker color like Verbatum Blue, are easier for OEM cd players to read
