If a CD has been burnt too fast for the media to cope & it won't play on your normal CD player at home or car, generally your computer is the only place it will play (some exceptions for devices like 'some' portables & dvd players.) Try it in both your car & home stereo before tossing it out. I did suggest you might sacrifice 1/so until we know what the problem is. If it doesn't work next time at a slow speed, then both murasame & I are agreed it's a computer set-up/config. issue.
