Problem burning onto a CD.
For some reason I cannot burn files onto a CD-RW disc (Imation brand),
either through Windows Explorer using XP or via Windows Media player. I have set the speed to the lowest level and closed all other programs. The disc is new and clean. I have no idea what the problem is. I am trying it with .mp3 files, but other types also fail to work. On Media player, it looks OK and says it is burning but once the CD automatically ejects, Media player says it was unable to burn. The .mp3 files are located on the hard drive, C. Any idea what the problem is; thanks. |

Also, I take it I cannot just copy the mp3 to the CD - you actually have to burn them. And all I need is the software right? Perhaps I need some specific hardware, but anyhow as said the program did seem to run properly. Thanks. |

You need some proper buring software. I'd recommend Nero Burning ROM. It includes Nero Express, which would make what you want to do (burn MP3 to Audio CD) very easy. jd |
