Hi Ed and all -
After a lot of trying of different things, and using up loads of CD-R discs, , I finally discovered that my problem in getting the PTR1 to play an MP3 disc, lay in the fact that I had burned the disc using variable bit rate! Now maybe a lot of you knew about that, but I had to find out the hard way!, so as long as I burn disks using the constant bit rate [cbr] then they will play ok in the PTR1.
Hope this helps someone else!
Andy

Subject: Re: Making MP3's with PTR1
Ok, I guess it doesn't matter, but if you read the section o in the manual that tells you about the disks they recommended, I would think that the disks are over rated for that machine. There is a section that talks about that, and from what I understand, they were talking about disks that were over rated. I had some disks that were 52 x speed that I used on my Macintosh g4, and when I try to burn anything to them, the Mack wouldn't except them. Also the reflected side, that is, the under side of the disk, has a lot to do with how the ptr1 and the disks behave with each other. The disks that you buy, especially the ones that are cheep, usually have a silver reflected side. There for, you are likely to have trouble burnning mp3s, because of the lazer that is in the ptr1. If you buy disks that have a gold reflected side, you are more likely to get abetter burn, and your able to burn mp3s. So, what I am saying, is that you get what you pay for, and that is how the record companies make there money, and that is how they get you. So, my recommendation, is to get cdrs, that have a gold reflected serface. you will pay a little more, but you are more likely to have better luck burning mp3s or wave files for that matter.
