Last resort - ASK HERE (CD-R question) Created 18 years ago2006-05-19 13:28:14 UTC by esmajor

I am one of (I am sure) millions that love to make compilation CD's from favorite songs. I especially like one particular group that I have 28 tracks from.

I split them up 14 each onto 2 discs.

Lately when I burn a CD-R it has this tendancy to go about 10 tracks in, and suddenly comes up with a disc error. I've played it in my DVD player, my PS2, my COMPUTER, and even my car stereo... SAME THING. It either stops, or it skips.

Cleaning didn't help, so here I am asking any of you Techies out there what else the problem could be.

FYI - DVD's did the same thing until I started burning them at 4x speed instead of 8x

The drive is a Dual-Layer combo DVD-R/CD-R drive. It was purchased brand-new and installed approximately 6-7 weeks ago.

Thanks in advance for any insight, and sorry for the SEVERELY off-topic opst in here hehe.

So... have you tried burning them at a slower speed, as you did with your DVDs? You don't try to use your PC while they're burning, right?

what software u using for burning? please don't say windows copy / paste or media player, coz those suck!

First it was Nero, and THEN I tried Media Player.

I can;t seem to find where to burn Audio CD's slower though. In MP you can't (at least not that I saw)

And no I don't use the PC at all while burning ANYTHING.

You can in Nero.

Nero is fucking win.

I usually adjust it right at the end in the Burn dialog.

Try updating the firmware for the drive.

With Nero, you can determine a proper write speed for your machine.

Zombie, I dont have the normal Nero - I have Nero Express that came with my burner

so does everybody.

burn -> audio cd -> add the songs -> select the CD speed and press burn

He's... just burning some CDs. They could be recordings of guys playing down the pub for all we know. It doesn't matter.

Discussing of warez concerns where to find them, direct links to applications, etc. Asking about burning a CD is totally fine.
