I put this in the "issues" forum, but nobody was responding.

This thread is for people who are having problems playing MP3s in their Shaker. I've come to the conclusion that many people with "bad head units" have a combination of a bad head unit and non-compatible CDRs. So, please post here what brand of CDR you are using and if it works with your Shaker.

BTW, please don't just assume that the brand labelled on the top of your CDR is the same as the brand which manufactured it. In some, (in fact, I would say MOST) cases, they are two different companies.

You can download the program below to tell you who manufactured your CDR (No affiliation with the company, just a nice little prog which is useful for our purposes).

Here are my results so far:

Plasmon Data Systems, med. type B, low Beta (B-) short strategy: This one works about 1/3 of the time (100% for the one I burned with no folders, just MP3s on the root directory).

CMC Magnetics Corp. (labelled as Memorex silver label), med. type A, high Beta (A+), short strategy: This one doesn't work at all.

Ritek (labelled as Memorex white label), med. type A, low Beta (A-) short strategy: This one works all the time, no problems yet, but that might be because this CDR contains no folders, just root directory MP3s.

What do you guys have?

 

I use Maxell CD-Rpro. Never had any problem with it.
