Can I make my own CDs For my OEM Sony 10 disk CD changer?

And how do I go about doing that if possible?

And what formats does the CD changer read besides Cds that you can actually buy?

It should be able to read standard CD-Rs, but not CD-RWs. Since it's an older CD player, it may have issues with some CD-Rs (like super cheap ones) but most should work fine.

To make your own CDs, look into downloading Windows Media Player 11 or iTunes. Both have integrated CD burning tools that simplify making music CDs (especially when coupled with their ability to import music from existing CDs). Both are also free.

The changer is old enough that it won't support anything but standard CD audio (that is, no raw MP3 or other data format discs). WMP11 and iTunes are smart, though, and will make standard music CDs out of any playlist you tell them to burn (even if the source files are MP3 or WMA or whatever), so the Q's CD changer shouldn't have any trouble playing them.

I have the Sony and I can play any CD-Rs. Computer or from an actual CD recorder.

thank you all and I found out too by just ptting in a disk i made on the computer I must say the CD changer is one of the sickest things on the Q45. But I am still new to them.

If you purchased a newer one, they play mp3 cds. At 128kbps you could put close to 120 songs per cd. You might have to change your head unit to do so but for 100 bucks for unit and 60 for the changer its worth it. Not to mention, the mp3 cds display song names. On another note, Bose sounds good loud eh?

Yea bose sounds good even with one speaker cause the two front ones are after market and the left back one has a bad amp. But I am sticking with Bose. And also Bose is better looking in my car than any other aftermarket deck and the CD changer is factory too.
