Hi,
A musician friend of mine uses her eMac (OS10.4) to burn her own CDs
using Toast Titanium 6.
Recently all CDs she has tried to burn have been unusable on CD
players - tracks 1-8 are fine, but tracks beyond 8 cannot be directly
addressed using the CD's forward/backward buttons. All tracks can be
played, but tracks beyond 8 show on the display as so many minutes
and seconds into track 8. The player correctly reports the total
number of tracks, but if you try to go directly to track 9, for
example, it will show track 9 selected, but won't play it. One CD
player we used allowed us to insist on playing; it correctly played
track 9, but the display changed, showed us 4:35 minutes into track 8.
I've tried writing different groups of files, different numbers of
tracks, from different directories. They all stop being addressable
after track 8.
The CDs play correctly in itunes or from the finder, using preview.
They appeared to write correctly in toast, with 2 seconds between
tracks, and all tracks are in their separate files on the disk.
I've tried removing the preference and plist files - no change.
I've removed all toast files and reinstalled - no change.
I assume that something is going wrong with the lead in or lead out
files, but given that reinstalling the software didn't fix the
problem I'm at a bit of a loss - what else to try?
Has anyone any experience of this sort of problem? I'd appreciate any
suggestions on what else might be affecting writing the CDs.
Cheers, Kaye
