CD Burning Issues

[ST]

So this happens every so often when I burn a CD-R with windows media player and I can't really figure it out. Often times the CD won't play in almost anything, I'm not sure if this is caused by a bad track or what but it's bugging the shit out of me. Anyone else had this problem or have any ideas?

do you finalize?

 

[ST]

Idk. I burned it in Roxxio and it worked, although I think Roxxio doubled the volume on the tracks. I like loud but double is a little ridiculous lol.

look around in roxio you can normalize it at different dbs.
wmp probably didnt finalize, or just left them in the format they were in, which caused your decoding issue. maybe.

make sure you are burning an audio/mp3 cd

use a different program i use itunes and the cds play in cars

I need to remember that.

Yeah, you need to make sure that WMP can read the CD's format and the files as well. If it's the CD, then you need to make it an Audio CD. If it's the files themselves, just make sure you either have a readable format and make sure you PC has the correct codecs.

I always use RealPlayer, the full version. It also corrects volume differences between tracks, and it lets you specify which format you want to use. Really nice.

About iTunes burning: it might work for your car because most car players have an mp3 codec. Most regular -older- stereos lack that. And you can always burn right from Windows onto a cd. If you have the right format, then that works faster and just as well as expensive programs.

Nah iTunes creates audio CDs, though I think it *can* burn MP3 CDs if you tell it to. It also supports gapless burning.

Personally I use EAC to burn CDs, but I'm generally burning lossless shit with a .cue file, not MP3s.
