Last week, I bought my first supply of CD/Rs, a spindle of 30 so I could start using Nero Ultra Version 6. I knew there would be something of a learning curve, because it's been a little confusing to learn how to copy and paste tracks from the window with the file browser into the compilation window, but I figured out some kind of trick about tabbing or shift tabbing at just the right juncture to find the empty compilation window and paste the files into it. I still can't describe just how I did it. This is really a fumbling around situation. What I wouldn't give for a truly screen reader friendly, well labeled more intuitively designed program. BTW, I've tried Premier, and that didn't really do it for me, and I don't want to go into that again.
Anyway, after that opening digression, here's my real problem: The first couple of CDs I burned as compilations from files on my hard drive and, in at least one case, copied from a music CD directly, worked fine. By which I mean they played not only in my computer and my recent-vintage CD player in my stereo, but they also played on my several-years-old Panasonic Discman-type portable player, which wouldn't have worked if I'd been using CD/RWs by accident. But the friend who helped me buy these blank discs, as well as another friend, reassured me that they're CD/Rs. Okay, so then I've burned another couple of CDs since those first ones, once a copy from another CD, and the other effort a compilation burned from .mp3 files. But these last two are behaving as if I'd used CD/RWs instead of CD/Rs. They'll play in my computer, and they'll play in my stereo system, but on my portable player, they just play as static or a kind of white noise. I'm not aware of having changed any settings on any of the tabs in Nero since the first couple of discs,but I still find this program confusing enough so that maybe, just maybe, I mistakenly changed something and am not aware of what I've done. for those who know Nero and are familiar with this stuff, is there anything at all that could have produced this result other than using CD/RWs that won't play on lots of units like car stereos and portable players?
