I have two cd players, one that came with my car and one in my home. Neither are more that two years old. I just bought some Sony CD-RW disks. Neither of the above players will play them. I understand the problem of this type of disk not being compatible with these types of drives. I'm wondering if there are higher quality CD-RW disks available which would work in these drives?

RW media has lower reflectivity than R media, which has lower reflectivity than a commercially pressed disc (where the pits and lands - the optical equivilant of 0's and 1's) are physically pressed into the metal.

Try R media.

Are the CD players even capable of playing RW CDs? If not, then there is not much point in getting other RW CDs. What make/model of player are they?

Also you have given no information at all about what kind of CDs you have? Are they audio, data, mp3? Did you burn them yourself?

I called JVC and a Delco repair facility. Neither units support CD-RW so that settles this thread.
