I'm using Windows Media Player to burn Audio cds
 
But they wont play on CD players. They play on the computer though. I'm thinking the program isn't closing the CD but I have no idea how to go about doing it. Anyhow any help would be nice.

If anyone knows of a burning program free for download that would be nice as well.

Thanks. :y:

Destor 02-06-2008 11:52 PM

That thing is 80$ man. Fuck that.

Try ImgBurn http://www.imgburn.com/

Destor 02-07-2008 12:21 AM

Thanks DS but the program doesn't reconize any of the music on my PC...

El Fangel 02-07-2008 12:22 AM

El Fangel 02-07-2008 12:24 AM

I use Nero Ultra 7 for CD burning and I love it.

I can give you a link to a free download via a torrent if the above is no good.

I do however have to ask the question as to what file format you're trying to burn.

I don't know the extent of your computer knowledge but if you're burning MP3's onto a CD in MP3 format and your CD player doesn't read MP3 format it won't play (but it will on your PC).

If you're CD player doesn't read MP3 format you need to burn it as CD Audio format - this will create larger files so you won't get as many songs onto a CD.

MP3 format will (depending on how large the files are, of course) give you between 150 - 200 songs on a single CD.

CD Audio will only give you between 15 - 20 songs per CD.

Another possibility may be that you are using a CD-RW and again your CD player may not be able to read this format.

Destor 02-07-2008 12:57 AM

I think you're right about the MP3 format. Any simple tips for converting these files?

Destor 02-07-2008 01:01 AM

Just checked this theory and you are right. I put it into my DVD plsyer (plays MP3s) and it worked. Thanks man. still, if anyone can help with file conversion that would be awesome.

El Fangel 02-07-2008 01:02 AM

What type of files are they now Des, WMA?

Destor 02-07-2008 01:04 AM

MP3 (two are WMA)

El Fangel 02-07-2008 01:11 AM

And you want to convert them to an audio cd thing?

Destor 02-07-2008 01:11 AM

Yea something that will play in a run of the mill CD player.

El Fangel 02-07-2008 01:13 AM

Im not 100% sure this is the right one, but I think my friend did what your trying to do with this.

El Fangel 02-07-2008 01:14 AM

I honestly cant remember exactly what he did, I think its been about an year and a half since I burned an audio cd.

Destor 02-07-2008 01:28 AM

I'm downloading it now so we'll see.

Destor 02-07-2008 01:41 AM

Should I covert to WMA or WAV?

Destor 02-07-2008 02:00 AM

It claimed to have succesfully converted the files but on further inspection, it did not. GETTING PRETTY FRUSTRATED TBH

El Fangel 02-07-2008 02:01 AM

Uh. Fuck. I wish I was more help man. I think WMA files are files that get put on CD's though. Dont tase me if I am wrong.

Destor 02-07-2008 02:08 AM

Figured it out, pretty sure this is gonna work. Much appreciated Icebox.

El Fangel 02-07-2008 02:13 AM

No problem man, glad to help, although through many attempts :p

Destor 02-07-2008 02:21 AM

Fuck in bull shit this is. Right so I convert and burn all these (shitty) songs off and when I go to play it's got this snotty British chick repeating "ADVS Demo" ever 10 seconds over the music. GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

El Fangel 02-07-2008 02:23 AM

Are you fucking serious? Sorry man :(

Destor 02-07-2008 02:24 AM

Dead serious

El Fangel 02-07-2008 02:27 AM

Ugh, Ill see what else I can find.

El Fangel 02-07-2008 02:27 AM

Ok, tell me Des, where are the original source of these songs? Download, MP3 Cd, what?

Destor 02-07-2008 03:08 AM

Download, I'm thinking of re-downloading them as WMV files and seeing how that goes.

El Fangel 02-07-2008 03:15 AM

:'(

El Fangel 02-07-2008 03:17 AM

Hold on dude, just use your default burner, go locate file, send to D: drive, that should work fine, just go in and rearrange the files after you got them, and put them in order.

:D

Destor 02-07-2008 03:23 AM

But how will that change their file type?

El Fangel 02-07-2008 03:27 AM

Im like 95% percent certain it burns it as an audio CD, I think I have burned CD Player (Non-MP3) Discs before like this.

Destor 02-07-2008 03:39 AM

Nah, still MP3 format.

El Fangel 02-07-2008 03:43 AM

Fuck man, Im running out of ideas. :'(

If I think of any, Ill let you know.

El Fangel 02-07-2008 03:45 AM

Im trying man, I really am

5th one down, its free

That is the help page of you have any problems, Man I have way too many of these things on my comp. Wipe time soon I think.

Destor 02-07-2008 04:09 AM

Burnt on this buisness right now, I'll try again later. I appreciate the help though.

El Fangel 02-07-2008 04:14 AM

Dude Im getting as frustrated as you are, and im helping you.

Knowing your luck, this will actually work. :p

Xero 02-07-2008 10:11 PM

I have no idea WTF you're doing. You did not need to convert them. WMP burns regular CDs perfectly without any burning plugins/extras and without converting. The only way you're getting MP3 CDs is if you're burning Data Discs. You can change it with the arrow below burn (if you're using WMP11).

Though it could be that the CD is incompatible with the CD player IF you are burning regular Audio CDs. Some players absolutely will not play them and some have problems with the different types (I think CD-R is the most compatible but I don't know for sure off-hand).
