How about "fixate" at the end of the command, or do I
remember incorrectly that this is needed? At least it
was used for data tracks (ISO-9660)...

Do you have another "hardware CD player" to check? Maybe
the car's CD player doesn't like your CD media - this is
quite possible. (I have such a "hardware CD player" that
doesn't play burned CDs, but pressed ones.) Some CD drives
are picky about the media they accept.

Except "fixate" maybe... but keep in mind that I'm not
sure about this; I'm not using burncd anymore since I
discovered cdrecord and cdrdao (that use the ATAPICAM
facility).
