issues with older factory CD player (wont play burned discs well)

[disco]

So the subject kinda says it all. I just bought a 2000 toyota tacoma that has a factory CD/cass player. When I put in a freshly burned CD the disc exhibits a clicking sound, skips or just won't play. Any "worn in" cd won't even register, just kinda stalls on a flashing "track 1" until I take the disc out. I received a bunch of dead tapes as a kickdown a few weeks ago so I have those to listen to but I'd much prefer to rock some CD's. I use nero to burn but could easily grab another program or whatever. Am I fucked or can I get some CD's to play?

Get a new head unit...  Then buy my Soundstream Van Gogh amp (I have one for sale)...

Sometimes they're brand-picky, sometimes they're burn-speed picky.  Sometimes they can barely handle any burned disc.

I don't know how to clean the lens on a car-cd player, but if there's a way, I'd try that

My wife's car player (also from 2000) won't play the cheapo discs, but it'll play Taiyo Yudens fine.  Try different discs.
