itunes Cd burning.

The Griff · 10-27-2009, 09:16 AM

So last night, I went to create a few CD playlist like I usually do, It was a toal of about 50 songs (3ds). I went to burn it, it checked out & said that it was writing the discs, the wierd part is that it took almost a half an hour before it completed the 3 discs. Where on my old Dell it would've taken maybe 5 mins. I brought the cd's to my car and none of them read. I went and put them back in the computer to check them & it would register that there were 20 or so songs on each, but none of the track names/info was listed. Does anyone know why? Or what I can do to change this? I tried re-doing the playlist twice with the same results.

Never burned from iTunes. I always use Nero.

The Griff · 10-27-2009, 11:16 AM

Nero? I've heard of it, but never felt like paying for it, since iTunes was free, it's what I've always used.

well griff i have been burning and havnt had this problem but I would have to say the setting for burning are not right. Im guessing that you did tell it to be an audio cd, and not Mp3 or data cd? Speed should be max possible, but with out seeing your settings I cant really tell you whats wrong.

The Griff · 10-27-2009, 02:17 PM

Yeah, I manually adjusted my settings prior to as always, and It's always at the fastest speed possible & audio cd. I've read on several sites that people were having the slow burning issue, but nothing about slow burn and the CD itself not playing afterwords. I think I may uninstall and re-install tonight and see if that does anything, even though I doubt it will since this computer is 3 weeks old.

Why don't you try Windows Media player, I used it a couple times to burn cds and it works well.

I guess I haven't even used WMP since I got this computer. Does it burn multiple cd playlists as well?

The Griff · 10-29-2009, 01:09 PM

oK, So I was able to have the CD's burnt, now they wont play in my Car Cd player, but they will in my lady friends Mitsubishi. WTF?

and oh yeah. WMP can kiss my ass, tried it last night and it sucked.

xJuice · 10-29-2009, 01:26 PM

Buy a new car it's obviously broken.

The Griff · 10-29-2009, 02:20 PM

lol. I guess that will have to happen. Well checked again over lunch & one of the three cds worked fine. So I'm at a loss. either way, I'm going to look into new burn SW.

Semper · 10-29-2009, 03:11 PM

sure it was adressed but what file type are your files? mine dont convert there straight mp3s not aac or whatever apples format.

that could be a reason the cds dont play?

The Griff · 10-29-2009, 03:13 PM

There's some other issue, these are all the same files that would burn no problem on my old computer. mp4's & mp3's since it's a Audio CD there never was an issue before, so I'm trying to figure out why it all the sudden started when i got the new PC.

Semper · 10-29-2009, 04:50 PM

hmm... interesting. post up if you figure out the deal...

slonlow2000 · 10-29-2009, 04:56 PM

I've never had a problem from mine, i just burnt a few for my car last night since I cant plug my ipod into it. I've always left the setting just as you said too.

Mainly just wanted to comment on how awesome your sig is, and i'm watchin the movie right now on G4 lol.
