... this never happened before. I've used the same exact CD's I've used previously. There is NO differenece between then and now aside from the time that has passed. The CD's I have in my car are a Memorex brand name, I've been using them for the past 2 years. All from the same case/continer (100ct). The ones I made in the begining that WORKED are still in my car now. When I put them in now, all I hear is that skipping sound.
2) Same effect.
3) No static. Though I must say, reguarding the volume. The knob doesn't seem to coincide with the level of volume comming out. I can keep on turning it and there doesn't seem to be a stopping mechanism (either physical or through the programing). So if I turn it rather quickly to get quiet, it would get a little quiet then really loud. Though that's not the reason for this thread.....
I'll try and get a CD cleaner today.
