I regularly make audio CDs. Burner them on my laptop via an external CD/DVD burner.

But some reports are that older tower PCs and car audio players are refusing them. And because they are given free, maybe people don't complain. I have just burnt a regular CD-R on a different laptop (internal burner) as a test.

The normal medium is Texet full-face printable CDs. Printable to avoid peeling labels.

I spoke to the computer shop wot sold the burner and the owner suggested burning at a slower speed. Which makes sense (ish). I thought it might be the disk format because Nero doesn't give options now - only an ISO. And the medium is always a candidate.

Any experience in this area?

FWIW Texet now have a version of the f-f printables where the aluminium mirroring extends almost to the centre hole so the print doesn't look funny in that region.
