RE: a cd problem
Hi Joe, Boy its good to see that name! I remember when we used to talk microphones on the phone even before the Playback years. Note: I see that I have this folder sorted by size instead of receive date so I accidently pulled up a question that you had back in June. I do not care, I am going to take a stab at it anyways! Addressing your problem 3 things come to mind. On your computer you can produce both mp 3 and wav recorded CDs. The mp3 will often play on a newer boom box but not on an older juke box or CD player. Second, some recorders and players are picky about the brand of blank CD. Just try a different brand. Third, some players are picky about digitall errors. You can reduce the error rate by going into settings in your CD burner software and turning down the recording rate. (slower is better) Take care, Frank Cuta -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Joe Giovanelli Sent: Monday, June 23, 2014 3:09 PM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: a cd problem Hi, All, I recently started using a laptop to burn cd's.

Hello, and thanks for your thoughts. I'm not using rewritable disks. In any case these disks play on other machines so we can know for certain that they are finalized.

Re: a cd problem
Yes, I know what you mean. The original Plextalk worked like that. Remember that my disks will play on other machines. I'm beginning to think that I should try a different brand of disks. More than one person told me that they had similar problems to mine.
