See, I'm not so sure about that. Anyone who's, well, driven, knows that
even basic stereo panning can totally ruin a good track whilst in the
car, mostly because the "sweet spot" in the car is the center console,
where most people put some napkins and other random crap.
That gets worse with 5.1 (and above), as the driver, without messing
up the balance of the music so that the 5.1 is rendered practically null,
hears the stuff in the top left speaker the best. And if the driver adjusts
all of the speakers so that they play correctly for him or her, then
everyone else in the car gets an even worse experience.
I do love the idea of MP3 cd players in the car, though, as they make
that whole idea of a cd player in the trunk seem even stupider than it
already is :D
Regarding the actual problem, though, I've found that a combination of
burning styles (whether it's TAO, DAO, or whatever other features
you've burned with) along with speed that can affect the quality of the
CD that pops out. Many older CD players have weaker lasers so
they're unable to read the less-reflective sufaces of CD-Rs. Similarly,
CD-Rs burnt at a higher speed can have a higher incidence of errors
due to the high burning speed that an accurate laser like a CD-ROM
can read just fine, but a low-quality cd player can skip over, or worse
give the "no disc" errrrorroorr.
So, try a media with higher reflectivity (silver, light blue, light
green), ortry burning at a lower speed. And make sure you're burning a basic
audio CD as "disc at once," which can be easier on the toc for the
disk.
