CD-R weirdness

altivoWe have a consistent but mysterious CD incompatibility. If Gary writes MP3 files to a CD-R they will play back in his computer and in his car audio system. The same disc will usually play on my computer, but will not play in my car audio system. (We both have Fords, with almost identical radio-CD players in them.) I can, however, copy the files from his CD on my computer, and write them to another blank CD-R and the copied disc will play in my car player. I thought perhaps his Windows software was leaving the disc open rather than fixating it, so I tried fixating one he had written but it still plays only on the computers and not in my car.
It's a mystery.
Interesting "experiments" at supper. We had a salad made of avocado, zucchini, tomato, and lime juice that was quite good. We also had a pasta dish made with arugula (rocket to the EU folks I think,) olive oil, garlic, and grated asiago cheese. That has potential, but we used whole wheat linguini and I think it would be more successful with the normal linguini as those are less sticky when cooked. The asiago I had on hand was very strong and clashed with the arugula a bit rather than blending, so we're thinking perhaps a milder Parmesan or even mizithra or gruyere would be better. Even so, it was good, just a bit astonishing.
