"Why do my CD's always skip?"

Whenever I burn MP3's on to a CD they always play ok on my stereo in my house but skip on the CD player in my car and it drives me crazy(excuse the pun)!
I use pretty cheap CD's for copying (jungle.com) and I think this could be the reason why.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Can you suggest good quality, yet cheap CD's I could use for copying? Or do you have an alternative solution to this problem?

Please help.....cheers!!

SilverMerc? Oh, go on then Mr Black Demon please enlighten me.

I heard that burning CD's at 1x speed sometimes helps.

ie if your burning a 60 minute CD it takes 60 minutes to do but it is of a higher quality.

I think you are SilverMerc. You want to know why?

That's quite annoying, do you think even if I tried a different type of cd-r I would still have the same problem?

Yup some stereos just can't play CDR's properly.

Thanks for your responses guys, although I don't think there's a problem with my car stereo because it plays loads of original CD's without a problem, even pretty scratched ones. I have also found that the copied CD's don't play well on lots of other stereo's aswell (not just car stereo's).

Your car stereo is old an cannot play CDR's properly.

The CD-Player doesn't have anti-skip so every time there's a slight judder it skips.
