can anyone help me? ever since being on windows xp i cant seem to burn any data cd's(mp3), it starts off and then in the middle will stop on scanning files and it would stay like that for hours if i left it, i have mj 8.0.393.
Thankyou.

i can burn audio files though and i can burn a couple of mp3s but not say like 118 which im trying to do

[KingSparta]

how many megs is 118 files? and what do you have MJ set to.

[MissAVuk]

i managed to  burn by splitting the number of  files to 59 each on 2 cd's, where would i find the settings for the limit of megs to burn?-i didnt realise that there was any.

[KingSparta]

well when you go to burn there is a combo box

it should tell you if your over the limit.

there is a bug in MJ9 where it does not tell you the limit is past unless you change the combo box a few times, it may be in MJ8 also.

oh the 74 min/650mb -  no that was okay i was within the limit but for some reason it just wouldnt let me burn about 625mb

[KingSparta]

there is an amount it needs to also write to close the cd it is about 32 megs

[MissAVuk]

thankyou! i didnt realise it needed that much space.

[KingSparta]

By the way are they CD-R disks Or CD-R\W?

CD-R\W you can not write as much to the disk

i use 74 min cdr

[KingSparta]

I would figure it should account for that in the total.

I have not used MJ8 for sometime.

I think i will need to look at My MC9 to see what it is doing.

Maybe It also could be a media or a Drive problem if it is not MJ.

Interesting

Maybe if you can try to use all 118 files and burn them with another Burner program you can see what the deal is.

      I also couldn't burn data cds. Finally just gave up and sent my playlist to disk and used the software that came with my cd burner. Screws up the tags and makes it a lot harder to burn an mp3 cd.

[MissAVuk]

i tried to burn data(mp3) to disc using windows media player but the completed disc wouldnt read in my cdmp3 player but will read in my sisters so i reverted back to mj and just did 78 files (325mb) and that won't read in my player either but it's not my player as it can read previous discs made, i dont think its my cd-writer as i can write other files. has anyone  got suggestions ?

[KingSparta]

if it will read on one player and not in another mp3 player it may be the Disks them self.

Sometimes the disk color and brand will have strange effects on players and burners.
