My car stereo rejects CD-Rs that if if you hold up to the light, you can see through. Are these discs opaque enough that they are not transparent?

Most CDs are transparent to the light, and this one is somewhat like that. These are the only CDs that dont give me an error in my player, as well as others who I give my CDs to. You can use a cheaper brand like Verbatim where they have a white coat on the front, but those give errors for me. Maybe buy 3 of these at the local store and try them first, then buy this pack after if it works. Good luck!

Not real sure about the transparency issue but if your homemade cd's have paper labels on them that you applied, these reek havoc with car players because of the tight tolerences. Won't play right and half the time the players just ejects them until finally one will get stuck in the player.

These CD-Rs are only somewhat translucent when held up to a light bulb. They have worked for me in every player I have tried them in. Do the CDs you made for your car play in other players / cars? If not, burn the MP-3s as data using the ISO 9660 standard. These CD-Rs are probably worth a try.

You can see through them, so I would probably use them if the sun was shining in on me. Can see through them quite well when driving and they're on passenger side of the car.

No. Completely transparent operation from what I've seen on digital files (Apple TV) as well as Blu Ray.

The short answer in the Silverado into which I installed it is ... not enough if placed in the CD opening. I ended up putting it into a seam between the top of the dash board and the instrument panel. There it doesn't block access to any of the environmental, radio/CD or other controls on the instrument panel. It still works great.

Visually you won't see anything, it only has the small light for the 3 different modes. But you should be able to hear the difference....especially when in Dolby Digital.

It isn't clear, but it isn't opaque either. You can see through it, but don't expect to be able to showcase anything with it on.

No problem with my tinted windows. In fact they blend in and are hardly visible in the rear windows. (my front windows are not tinted--I think illegal in some places)

They're more like translucent. You can see through the sides but I think labels are still needed.

Yes, they are totally transparent. They are a glossy finish so you need to make sure you position it so the light doesn't reflect off it.

No. You can't see through them. I see conflicting definitions of descriptors in other responses, but for clarity's sake: They are opaque, not translucent.

Absolutely not, I purchased 2 of these. Sent them both back. I think they're useless because they wont play burnt discs.

While it is not 100% opaque, you can't see through these shades. It transmits some light.

You're right morofless. They are hard to read/write with the mirror finish. I hate it. I think the DVD-r have changed to a matte finish now, according to the image of the product on the site now. I hope so cuz I just ordered more and they are shipping to me in a while. We'll see.

It sounds to me 1 of 3 possibilities... Your cds are scratched, or you have a dirty lens in your player. Try running a lens cleaner in your player. Worst possibility is your lens is scratched. If so, you'll need a new player

Yeas they will work just fine. Awesome quality CD's, thick and non transparent compared to the cheap ones.

for CCS encrypted discs it will not upconvert over component. If you take a look over at videohelp.com you will find that there are 3rd party softwares that will allow this upconversion to happen.

It depends on your car disc player and the burning program you use. Most modern car stereos can handle anything you throw at them, but if yours is an older model you might have to be careful to burn as audio-format (as opposed to mp3 data discs). Every burner I've ever used has settings for audio-format, but your experience may vary.
