Title: Problem burning Audio CD's
Post by: c1c9k72 on July 30, 2003, 11:45:23 am
Not sure when this started, but I know that at least from 9.1.22, I haven't been able to burn any Audio CDs.  It loads the songlists into the CD system, but seems to hang once the CD Burning Process window opens.  It says "Preparing to Write" but gets no further.  Anyone else having this problem, or is it just something in my system ?

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I was on vacation for a couple of days. Could you send me a log file? Here's how:

Turn on MC's logging for CD burning by changing the value of this registry key from zero (0) to one (1):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JRiver\Media Jukebox\CD Writer\Logger

Then just start up Media Center and try to burn a CD (you can leave test mode checked to avoid creating a coaster). Then exit MC and find a file in the MC program directory called "cdwriter.log" and email that to me. Remember that the log file is overwritten each time you start up MC, so you must send the file before restarting MC.


If you have any questions, private message or email me.

Thanks,
John T.
