Recently, David sent me a tutorial for converting MP3 files for use in a CD player. His version was based on Windows XP and using the same process with Windows 7 presents some interesting challenges.
I tried to follow the steps but it only goes so far and then seems to get stuck. 1. Insert blank disk in recording drive. 2. From the Autoplay menu, choose "Burn files to disk using Windows Explorer". 3. Windows asks the question, "What do you want to do with this disk?" I chose create a CD or DVD. 4. Windows 7 now puts the cursor in a field which shows the current date, a default name for the disk which can be over-written. I highlighted the file and entered my own disk name. 5. I used a folder and copied and pasted the files into the field provided. 6. If you press Tab at this point, Windows 7 goes into naming the disk, the author, genre and so on. I entered the File menu by pressing Alt F and chose Burn Files to Disk, the acceleration character is T. 7. Then Windows 7 appears to bring you through a dialog where you can choose writing speed, disk type and so on. It finally ends with nothing. The system goes around and around without resolving the burn. I tried using the Jaws Cursor and navigated to the top of the page where Burn to Disk and Delete Temporary Files are shown. I got what sounded like a burn, but then the disk showed no files. I finally gave up, copied the files into a Play List on ITunes and burned them that way. What am I doing wrong? It seems like such a simple operation but apparently, with Windows 7, something else is needed. Any help would be most welcome.
