Ok, so a couple days ago I burnt a cd. Fine, just like any other cd. I listen to it in the car a few times, it works fine, works fine elsewhere too.

So last night, I'm driving along, and it starts skipping parts of the song. So what? I take it out, clean the cd off a bit (wasn't all that dirty, as it was a brand new cd). I put it back in, go on my way, works. Starts doing it again, so I once again, take it out and clean it again. But this time ejects the cd.

So i get home. Forget about it. I get into my car last night before I go out. And I happen to look at the cd player display on my car. It says "disk" then makes a faint noise like its going to start reading the cd and play it. No, it just ejects it. I try putting it back in. Same thing. So I try several other burnt cds. Same case. Then I try 3 store bought cds. The exact same thing.

At this point, I'm kinda frustrated, but not too much I can do till the stores are open, so I just turn the radio on. So just now, on my lunch, I went and bought an auto-cd player cleaner (a maxell... all they had there), throw it into the cd player, does the EXACT SAME THING as a normal cd.

This is a factory cd player, 2001 civic, never had any problems what-so ever before last night.

Any suggestions as to what I can try or what it could be/could be causing the issue?

the stock deck is crap. buy a better one. Even honda says their cd player doesn't work well with cd-r discs. Try a store bought one and it should work fine.

it doesnt. i tried store bought, i tried 3 actually. doesnt even make a sound anymore untill it goes to eject the cd.

then the player is bad. just get a new one for $100-200. If you still have warranty, have the dealer replace it.
