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

Rw could not play on an ordinary cd player, but a cd-R finalised could. Does
a cd-RW actually get finalised ?

I have two Technics SL-PG380A CD Players,
neither of which seem particularly happy to play
even CD-R audio, generally the first couple of
tracks play ok albeit after quite an initial delay,
but then it seems to 'lose' the track listing half
way through the disc, and the only way to
get it back is to eject the CD and re-insert it!
I guess this may just be a trait of these older
generation of players, not a fault as such...
'Proper' CD's are absolutely fine and the units
are decent all-rounders otherwise.

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.

Excellent. Nice to know I wasn't just imagining it.
