The owners video that came with my 01 wrangler warns me not to try to
play anything except music CDs in the CD player. It says that their
manufacture is not as standardized, so there is no gurantee the player
will play them correctly. The one and only time I tried playing
CD-R's in my CD player, it had a hard time ejecting them, and I had to
get a pair of needlenose pliers to get the CD-R out.

Early CD players will not play CD-Rs that are labeled 'MUSIC' or AUDIO'. These
discs are made to be recorded in a home audio CD Recorder, not in a computer
CD-R drive. Recording an Audio CD-R in a computer and then trying to play in
an old cd-player will result in an error code. Most often a ERR-22 problem
code.
