Using the MP3 function. I recorded music to CD using WMP, ribed at a bit rate of 128K had a problem in playback some areas of music was skipped or area of distoriton. Re-ribed at 160K bits same problem exist when played back on Hyundai car radio. Is there a way to clean the CD player or repair the unit?

cd fails but AM/FM works?
no year car told.2007 TO 2018 MADE ,CALLED 'JK' SERIES.
just buy the car with dead CD?
just have only one CD? disc?
I have 2008 wangler here, near mint.

first off try read music CD , (called CD_DA) sold in brick stores
not MP3, not CD-R disks recorded try a REAL MUSIC DISK
OR BLOWN OUT THE CD HEAD INSIDE. OPTICS, CARS TEND TO GET DIRTY,.
MY JEEP HAS THE "RES" RADIO HEAD,+ cD
my users guide states

This radio is capable of playing compact discs
(CD), recordable compact discs (CD-R), rewritable com-
pact discs (CD-RW), compact discs with MP3 tracks and
multisession compact discs with CD and MP3 tracks.

the users guide covers this, lost it, well it is free online.
users guide page (in your glove box)
shows page 230 more mp3 rules. (DIY disks)230 to 233 a whole list of complex restrictions on MP3 DIY record-able discs

• bad CD
• wrong CD
• or CD drive bad.

not told you,.what is on that CD

off the shelf music CD, called CD_DA disks, real music disks
or copies of CD to CD-R recorded media
or a mix CD from friends, in MP3 format or 20 other formats no car can play

If you are using a non music CD to record, then it wont see any of the songs past a certain point and it depends on how they are made and what format they are in.

CD disk bad. (audio disc bad or scratched)
or CD dont really support disk media format , is this a CDDA or MP3
some early MP3 disc drives do MP3 very poorly
or skips when you hit bumps in the road.
only that disc skips.?

MP3 means that you can record a cd of data ,700mb about 6cds on one disk and play it ,size depends of on velocity of the music ,192 or whatever its been recorded at .the faster the speed the less you will get on a disk

The "read-ahead" memory cache is too short.
Not much you can do, short of replacing the player; however:
Does your CD player support playing MP3's?
Convert your Audio music CD's to MP3.
The same audio music is "smaller" in MP3 format than audio format. More of the song can fit in the memory cache so it is less likely to "run out" of mermory and skip.

MP3s are a different format from a regular CD. You can use an MP3 player through the AUX jack, but not a CD with MP3s on it.

Howdy,
the rattling sounds like its the hydrolic lifters (tappets or cam followers called also) not really a hard job just a pain cause you've to strip the engine to pieces to do. Its very time consuming so unless you've some experience i'd place this in the hands of an experienced mechanic. This should also stop the smoke problem.

The engine service light is on a timer from service to service so thats nothing to do with it.

The cd player your right about it just need the lazer llens cleaned. You can buy a cd cleaner kit for cheap in any music/record store.

Hope this helps if not let me know and I'll try and find the solution

Cheers

iTunes is an application that allows the user to manage audio and video on a personal computer, acting as a front end for Apple's QuickTime media player. Officially, using iTunes is required in order to manage the audio of an Apple iPod portable audio player, although alternative software does exist. Users can organize their music into playlists within one or more libraries, edit file information, record Compact Discs, copy files to a digital audio player, purchase music and videos through its built-in music store, download free podcasts, back up songs onto a CD or DVD, run a visualizer to display graphical effects in time to the music, and encode music into a number of different audio formats.

You have to download iTunes software and make a playlist then sinc the ipod.

Try using a can of compressed air to blow dust out of the unit. Insert the tub into the area where the disk is normally inserted. Blow the compressed air and remove dust which may be covering the lens which reads the CD. Also, try a different "Music" CD, be sure it is not an MP3 CD.
