I recently got a Panasonic CD writer (7502 - 4X) and made some audio CD's. Using
TDK media, they played fine in my 1990 vintage 6 disc CD changer in my BMW
(Factory Alpine unit), but refused to work in my wife's brand new Pioneer indash
CD player. Memorex and Mitsui media worked fine for both.

Go figure.
