I have done a few burns using Windows Media--so far, all successfully thankfully. 1. I rip the songs I want from a CD using CDEX. IMPORTANT: F-8 rips in .wav format which is what you likely want for a CD. Once I have burned the CD, I delete the .wav file as it takes up mega space on the hard drive. 2. I move these songs to a designated folder (may not be necessary but I want to be sure of what I am burning). 3. I find my designated folder and open it with the enter key. I then select the songs in the folder with Control-A and these will be the songs for my burn list. 4. Press your applications key and arrow down to "add to burn list." 6. Tab until you hear a burn command. Press enter here.(this is usually several tabs along). 7. Tab again and there is another tab that says something about burning or it might refer to the letter of the drive you are burning with. Press enter here. I have found that sometimes the burn starts immediately and other times the burn may not begin for 2 minutes or more. Just today it appeared that nothing was happening so I tried to eject the CD and got a message saying that a CD could not be ejected while Windows was burning. I pressed enter on the burn command that said something about my E drive and eventually, the burn began. I am not sure if there is something visually showing on screen or whether the program is just quirky. 8. There is another box a tab or 2 along after the burn commands where you can review your burning speed. Sorry, don't remember what it is called but it is quite obvious it is the settings tab--in fact, that may be what it is called. Press alt-enter on this tab to open its properties and the second tab brings you to the combo box for burning speeds. When my last burn today failed to work I lowered the burn speed to 32 X and waited about 3 minutes and was just about to give up when the drive began moving and once the process finished--about another 3 minutes, I had a perfect cd copy with all the songs, no skips and yes, it even played on a regular CD player. I apologize if I have left out any specifics--I usually just do this stuff till it works and I must say that I often forget what it was that worked and what it was that didn't! I'm sure that with sight this stuff is a breeze but with speech it is usually hit and guess--at least for the first few times.----- Original Message ----- From: "Bobcat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Kat, I Can't help you with burning yet but I have done lots of ripping with WMP 10 and Jaws. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I have spent endless hours trying to figure out how Media Player can rip or > burn CDs, and have had little success.

My thought is that JAWS is preventing me from having success. _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
