Re: Burning CDs With Windows Media Player
Hello Tom, I've used Windows Media Player 11 to burn cds. I didn't have that kind of problen, but I did run in to this kind of a problem. I ripped a cd that I wanted to make myself a coppy of. I found that you had to play them all to get them all on to the cd. Because if you didn't, WMP11 would only burn one of those songs on to the cd, and lieve the other 12 or 13 or so out. That is why I myself switch back to Windows Media Player 10. So everybidy out their, watch out for that, because that can be a reall pane. - Original Message - From: Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2007 2:37 PM Subject: Burning CDs With Windows Media Player I'm posting this message for a list member who is having trouble posting to pc audio. Tom Hi folks, Recently a friend of mine updated their windows media player from 10 to 11 and have been having a strange problem with burning CD's ever since. Here's what happens. After putting their compilation together and starting the burn process, two thirds of the way through the procedure an error dialog comes up that says that windows media player is unable to burn the CD and to use a slower writing speed or to purchase a different brand of disk. The writing speed is set at 16X which should more than suffice or an accurate burn these days. And no matter what brand of CD they try this error happens. Personally, I've had this error myself when I first tested media player 11 and have since reset mine back to 10 and the error never happened again. Anyone else have this trouble and is there a permanent fix that you can recommend for it?

Re: Burning CDs with Windows Media Player
Hi Bruce, Well, I've looked into your suggestion and have some questions. My hope is to find the most affordable and most easily Jaws accessible program for burning music CDs from ripped albums (I'm not likely to create any mix CDs, just recreate CDs from ripped files en toto), copy a music CD without ripping the original first, and also making periodic backups of the folders on my hard drive that are most important to me. Preferably using CDr/W for those so that I can make weekly backups by rewriting the same CD without having to learn what I guess is called multisession technique, creating incremental or successive backups on the same CD. I don't want to get into that. I want to use the method just as I long ago used a stack of floppies and a DOS backup program every week to back up directories from my hard drive. Not trying to create archives of all my backups. but I digress. I went to the Golden Hawk site and found the information about CDRWIN, and the price is certainly right. But then, it's in the same price point with Roxio Easy CD/DVDCEDED Creator 6 that, as Will pointed out, is till available from some vendors. (By the way, I managed to find the Main Menu program that included a review and tutorial back in June 2000. But when I clicked on the link, I was kidnapped to some sort of search results page with a lot of hits for CD/R stuff, and whose link for CDRWIN took me to a CDRWIN home page of some sort that didn't make any sense to me. So I went back to the Golden Hawk site, without having heard or read any personal evaluations or descriptions of the product.) This may be of interest to ACB radio fans in case this means someone has hijacked that link or something. Anyway, what I would appreciate your telling me is just how accessible and understandable the program is for you, and if you are able to compare it in that regard to the Roxio product. I'm not assuming you've had experience with Easy CD Creator, but there's no harm asking, I guess. I'm just trying to decide. Because I've determined that I simply can't figure out how to do this in WMP for reasons I don't want to reiterate, and also I tried out that Premier product but it began malfunctioning strangely after just one successful use for both ripping and burning, and I couldn't get any tech support from them at all. Not one answer to my careful questions. So even if some people are enjoying that Premier product, I can't see spending my money on it, though I'd like to support this apparently well-intentioned accessibility-conscious company. So, any further suggestions before I take a leap and buy either Easy CD/DVD creator or CDRWIN? I really hope to choose one that isn't too mystifying so that I find myself tabbing around a bunch of controls I can't make sense of, reading instructions that are poorly and incompletely written, and so forth. If only there were a burning program as simple and efficient as CDex is for ripping. But I guess there isn't whimper, whimper.. Thanks very much. I hope to get through this soon.

Re: Burning CDs with Windows Media Player
All I can say is this: I tried Easy CD Creator. I was successsful with it, but at the time it couldn't do disk-at-once recording. This has since changed. I've tried NEro, got nowhere with it. This doesn't mean it's not accessible, it just means I got nowhere with it. I tried Cdrwin six years ago, and have loved the program ever since, keeping the product up-to-date each year. I find it extremely straightforward, and I was able to learn the program back when I knew next to nothing about Windows. These are my experiences, which is all I can give you.

Re: Burning CDs with Windows Media Player
Hi Daniel. I would recommend nero burning ROM for all of your music and back up tasks. I've used nero for over 5 years and found nothing as accessible and easy to use.

My usage of any such product is going to be pretty moderate, not as if I'll be cranking out CDs every day as a hobby or something. And although I do want a good way to make backups, it doesn't seem as if that ought to cost me a hundred bucks, either.

I don't set up whole sequences of tracks to play. So I'm completely out of it about this Library and playlist stuff.

All I want to do is burn a CD using all the tracks from that same CD as I've ripped it. I don't want to create mixes or any of that. If I still could see better, maybe I'd get into it, the way I once made mix tapes now and then on cassette. But I don't really care.
