I know that the 12 month old Numark CD-Mixer

For a cheap basic (2 yr old) player it has been
absolutely brilliant.....

For some reason, car players always seem to play CDRW - even
although
domestic ones of the same age can't.


Probably because most car players have three lasers, two for tracking
and one for tracking and reading. A single laser having to do both can
have difficulty if there is a reflection problem with the disc - as
with CDRW - but three together would potentially be 2E3 or 8 times
more capable of tracking.
