CD BURNER

regular CD's don't handle that much data. they are compatible all radios though
try burning your music as mp3's on your CD. that way you will be able to store much more songs on a single disc

I've burned CD with as many as 20 tracks with no problem. You may have a mechanical issue with your drive. I would try a replacement.

what are you playing the cds on,if its your pc try a standalone cd player and see if it still happens
