I have a 99 Malibu LS and when I try to use burned CD's in the player,
nost of them seem to skip. Has anyone had success with any particular
brand of CD that works better than others for music disks?

Thanks,

Assuming you mean cdr and not cdrw.

I've used Fuji for years and they play in every player I have, even my old
first gen DiscMan...

And usually pretty cheap, not to mention quite often they have mail in rebates.
Last stack of 50 I bought cost me $2.99 after in store and mail in rebates.

Never had a coaster yet during a burn with Fuji. Been a fan of their film and
reel to reel tape for decades now!

The CD player in your 1999 malibu works??? Mine quick working a few years
ago. Does anyone know if there is a common problem with them?

www.bought4less.com and buy a new stereo.
The delco wasn't designed for CD-R's

I use CD-R's almost exclusively in my factory 2000 Delco. I use a various
brands (whatever was cheapest at the time) and I've never had trouble with
playback - could it be your burner?

My husband's '97 Malibu with the factory Delco played CD-R's just fine until
a few months ago. Now it's starting to have problems with any cd, so the
unit must have a problem. When it started acting up, it would no longer
play the 80 minute burned cd's, but would play the 74 minute ones. Then it
would only play the gold backed ones, now it doesn't want to play any cd.
It's been a gradual degradation.

I was told that the issue with some CD players rejecting CD-Rs was a
result of the CD thickness.
