burn data CD - no options for data CD?
« on: December 29, 2012, 12:34:01 am »

Hi, I am a new user, and I can't get something to work, would appreciate any advice.  When I try to burn a disc with mp3s, I can only find an action for "burn disc", and it only allows me to copy any files I select, no transcoding or other options.  That is, I can select and burn files, but they are only in the same format they have in my library, for example if they are flac, they are burning as flac.  The text in the help section for burning describes actions and options I am not being offered (see text below, divergence begins where I put the arrow).  I am offered only to send files to the "burner", and the details and options available for this don't include any data file options like transcoding.  Where am I going wrong?  I am running 18.0.103 under XP Home Edition SP3.

Text from the help pages:
Create a Data CD or DVD
Put a blank CD or DVD in your CD-RW or DVD-RW.
Select the tracks you want to record or select a Playlist.
--> In the Action Window, select Burn CD or DVD.
Select Data CD or DVD, select the drive, and give the disc a name.
Select the type of conversion (if any). See CD Burn Transcode Options below.
Select Close Disk if you do not want to ever add more files to the disk.
Select Next.
Drag files into the Action Window.
To modify optional settings (these are described in Options below):
To view, rename or remove the queued tracks select Details.
To set the write speed, burn in test mode, eject after write, or play sound after write, select Options > Burn Settings
To set folder and/or file naming conventions, select Options > CD/DVD Folder Naming and/or CD/DVD File Naming.
Select the Burn button.

I'm using 18.0.103, Windows 7....

In the action window, I click on "Burn disc" and I'm then given the options you appear to be missing (see attachment)

Are you not seeing this screen?
Once these options are set, click next and drag files into the action window to have them burned.

Thank you, marko.  No, I don't see this screen.  I was also having a problem with the "web engine" not working with Explorer as the browser (it works with chrome).  I will try a fresh install.
