Is HP Lightscribe poor quality?

I have a 6 year old Alpine CD Deck in my car and it plays most media, however I've been having trouble as of late. I couldn't get the Verbatim Lightscribe CD-R media to work at all so I bought an HP Lightscribe 10 pack and I've had to throw 4 away! I'm unsure if it is the media, the CD player or something I'm doing wrong myself.

I made the first 3 cd's identically using Nero and none of them would play in my car at all but played in my PC briefly before all of the sudden not being recognized at all. I thought the problem may be the 40x speed I was burning the discs at so I slowed it down to 8x instead this time using Real Player and it worked perfect or so it seemed. After only a few days the CD began to severely skip again! This time however the 8x burned disc is playing in my PC perfectly. So I'm beginning to think it may be my car stereo.

The only reason I'm skeptical of the problem being my car stereo is the fact that I have been using non lightscribe TY media for years and still it works flawlessly in there!

Any thoughts here?

Thanks a lot!


Here's my problem though, neither TY nor Maxell makes Lightscribe currently and I really want to find a good LS media to use.

I'm not sure if Sony does or not, but I know Phillips & HP do so.

Is there a quality lightscribe out there?
