Re: CD Music

[gifutiger]

Greetings All

I was sure that this was the answer to my problem of not being able to
write CD's that would play on my Toshiba SD-6109C integrated CD/DVD
player, Amplifier.

Well yesterday I received a spindle of 25 650MB CD disks that I
ordered, however still no luck. Made a disk from iTunes and it still
wont play.
I guess that I'll just give up and tell my wife that she'll have to
play the music on her "Lamp Shade" iMac.

Thanks for everyones help.

Open the burned CD on any of your macs and look at the suffix of the  
audio files.

I agree about the Apple issue slot loaders new they're OK but in a while a 
Pioneer 118L or better is in order if you plan on any serious burning.  I've 
had problems with all, other than Pioneer drives. All my PMs have 118L's and 
all my externals are also Pioneer I have 2 HP's for the Lightscribe capability. 
I burn a lot of media the only set tops I have a problem with as far as 
standard type disks playing are in the DVD stuff, It's really easy to make a 
mistake on CDs by burning MP3 to them I take extra care about that.A lot of 
folks don't run into it because most of the newer players play it, also all the 
kids have iPods and mostly MP3:-)

Forget the format, this has nothing whatsoever to do with burning the disk; 
iTunes converts the data to correct red book format when it burns an Audio CD. 
If your Toshiba player will play CDR's at all, it's likely that it only plays 
74 minute/650 mb disks; see my earlier reply.

See, this is where more information == better advice. 

You got exactly what you asked for, but not what you wanted.

Using the 700 MB disks may well be the issue. The 700/80 minute MB CDR's are a 
slightly different disk format than the original red book ones, you will 
probably have to hunt down some 650MB/74 minute media. 

See:



If the Toshiba doesn't play "real" 74 minute media, it has issues with CDR's, 
period.

Re: CD Music

[gifutiger]

Thanks to everyone, I guess that I should have added on the first
post,
I can make "CD's" that play in my Saturn Vue, they also play on our CD/
DVD player in the bedroom and they play on my G4 tower, on my wife's
Lampshade G4 iMac (10.5) and on my 1 year old Snow Leopard Macbook
intel,  so those that have concluded that I've used DVD disk I can
assure you that I've picked up the correct stack of platers, The CD -R
are made by CompUSA, and are 700MB single layer units. My DVD's are
made by HP and are also single layer DVD +R inkjet-Printable so
there's no mistaking the two.

As far as replacing the Toshiba SD-6109C, the unit is an integrated CD/
DVD player and amplifier and is the central piece of all items in our
home system. The cost of replacing this unit would be in the
neighborhood of about $500 so I can probably burn through a lot of
CD's before it will be cost effective to replace the Toshiba. If I had
the room I guess that I could get a small unit and plug it into the
Toshiba but I'm not sure if there are any inputs not used on the
Toshiba.

I guess that I should add that I've been working on and with computers
for about 40 years.

Thanks for everyones help, perhaps I'll try using the iTunes
application again. This time I'll see if I can make it burn at a
slower speed. Maybe I'll try burning on the G4 iMac Lampshade,

Oh I forgot to mention that I've tried using iTunes with the G4
running Leopard 10.5 and iTunes on my Macbook running Snow Leopard
10.6 and none of the CD's will play on the Toshiba.

Perhaps true in theory, but not in practice, in my experience.  I 
never had problems with CDs burned in my old G4 tower with a Pioneer 
drive, but the slot-loading internal superdrive in my C2D iMac burns 
CDs that give heartburn to the player in my car and sometimes the old

 If you use AIFF and CDR disks and you have a problem playing you need a 
player, Almost all commercial CDs will play on anything, The trouble comes from 
the other formats
and incompatible CDs. If you have a Mac compatible burner and iTunes you can't 
mess it up as long as you have AIFF files to burn. Alot of early aftermarket 
burners were crapola.
Also make sure the CD plays in the Mac to see if you have a viable disk. Get 
info on the disk and be sure they are AIFF files.

If the Burned as Music CDs  (a bit over an hour of music fits on 
one) play in your Saturn, but not on your player, it is a problem 
with the player or media. Some old players do not like recordable

My old CD player sometimes doesn't like the disks burned by my C2D

Memorex, TDK has also worked), and also burning at slower speeds. 
(Don't know why that helps, but it does).

This sounds like you're burning music onto DVD discs rather than CD  
discs? You can't play any DVD discs in any music CD player. The  
term "-R" (pronounced "minus R") is a DVD term, so if you're using  
"-R" DVDs, get some regular CDs, also called "CDR" (pronounced C-D- 
R "see-dee-are", for Compact Disc Recordable). As Bruce said, some  
older music players have trouble with any CDR discs (meaning home  
recorded CDRs, as opposed to OEM retail manufactured CDs).


There was a format war here also. There were CD+R and CD-R. Most  
disks nowadays are -R.


You may be able to find a small pack of +R and try that, But I think  
you will wind up burning through more money trying various brands  
hoping to find one that works than a new CD player would be.

I think the key here is what Bruce said, "Make certain that your  
iTunes prefs are set to create a CD-Audio disk, and leave the track  
and text settings unchecked." and make sure you're using a regular CD  
disc. If it won't play, it's likely your old music CD player is  
incompatible with recordable media.

Make certain that your iTunes prefs are set to create a CD-Audio disk, and 
leave the track and text settings unchecked.

iTunes emits a correctly mastered CD-Audio (red book) disk, so if the player 
plays regular pressed CD's correctly, it's not a format issue, but that the 
drive itself doesn't properly read the CD-R media.

You can try a couple different brands of CD-R, but I suspect it won't make much 
difference. 

The solution is a new player, unfortunately...

If the Burned as Music CDs  (a bit over an hour of music fits on one)  
play in your Saturn, but not on your player, it is a problem with the  
player or media. Some old players do not like recordable CDs. While  
they may have been in the original spec for CDs, many players could  
not handle them.


Since you know you can burn a music CD that works, there are 2  
possibilities:


1) A different brand of blank CDs MAY work, but don't buy 100 at a time.

2) Most likely, you will need to replace your CD player with  
something newer.

Re: CD Music

[gifutiger]

Tried the iTunes, got a lot of CD's that will play in my Saturn VUE,
but so will the CD's that have the songs in MP4 format, and on a lot
fewer disks.

Thanks for your input and if you have any other ideas let me know.

I know that this might be the incorrect place to post this question
but I'm hopping that someone can point me to the correct location.

I have some music that is in MP3 and MP4 format however my family  
room

CD/DVD player is a Toshiba SD-6109C.
Yeah it's at least 25 years old and it doesn't recognize CD's that  
are

encoded MP3 or MP4 so I'd like to convert the songs to what ever
format that was used a long time ago. Or even the format that is
currently in use for the Music industry. As the Toshiba will play  
CD's

that we purchase today, so my question is:

"What format does the music industry use and what application can I
use to convert the songs that I have."

Of course I'd like to find an application the is free.


Itunes will do this; has always done it...remember the "Rip, Mix,  
Burn" Ads?


Just create a playlist in iTunes, then right-click on it and select  
"Burn playlist to disc" You CAN specify MP3 disks, but by default  
iTunes burns a standard 60-minute audio CD, which is still the  
standard.


Now be aware, some very old CD players ALSO have problems reading  
the writeable CD's, regardless of format.


Definitely try a CD-R, not a CD-RW first.

Never leave home with MP3 CDs in tow just to find out the the car   
hotel room you're in can't play them. Super Bummer. I carry a 16 GB  
stick with an iTunes library on it to make CDs on the fly if needed.:-)

iTunes. From iTunes Help:


To create an audio CD:

Select the playlist containing the songs you want to burn to the  
CD; make sure the songs you want to include have a checkmark beside  
them.
Insert a blank disk and click Burn Disc (at the bottom of the  
iTunes window).

Select Audio CD as the Disc Format.
Choose your options:
When you burn a CD, iTunes automatically adjusts the recording  
speed to the blank CD’s rating. However, if your blank CD is rated  
for a slower speed than the maximum speed of your drive, or if you  
experience problems creating CDs, you may want to change the CD  
recording speed to match the CD’s rating by choosing an option from  
the Preferred Speed pop-up menu.
To change the length of the silence between songs, choose an option  
from the Gap Between Songs pop-up menu.
To have all the songs on the CD play at the same volume, select Use  
Sound Check.
CD players in some vehicles can display information stored on CDs;  
select Include CD Text to use this option.

Click Burn.



This will make a music CD that will play in any CD player that will  
play burned CDs.
