Title: Burning mp3 CD
Post by: KAP on March 16, 2005, 11:18:09 am
I am trying to burn mp3 CD from MC10.

It seems like the CD is not completed mp3, because it is playable in PC- DVD-ROM, but not in other CD-mp3 or DVD players.  I choose Data CD or DVD for burning, but there is nothing telling me that is being mpr. The files I try to burn is mp3 files from the MC10.

What is the possible problem?

If you look at the CD from Windows Explorer, what do you see?  MP3 files?

Yes, I have mp3 files at there, but this CD can only be played in the PC CD Rom. It seems like the CD is not to be found in other players.

In the same burner I burn mp3 CD's from an other program, and then it works great.
I need to get it from the MC10, because I need the playlist printed out in correct nr. 1-2-3 and so far.

Disk type and brand can sometimes matter.

Is there any difference you can see between the CD that works and the one that does not?

The both CD's are looking exactly as the same.
To mee it seems like any failure in the mp3 protocoll or CD - leadout (finishing).

They look the same in Windows Explorer?  Names the same?  Directories the same?

Yes, I can not find any difference at all.
I have tried different brands of CD, but the result is exactly the same.

Now I have found an difference between they two CD's.

The CD burned with "Easy CD Creator" is containing two files more than the CD burned by MC10.

The files are named: autorun.inf   and: play.exe
These files has not been created by MC10

The difference is that MC leaves the disc "open" for further session writing. While a computer can read these disc's ok (and some consumer players), many CD players will not read them. It's a little clumsy but you need to place the disk back in the drive, drag a track onto the disk like you're going to burn it (you won't actually burn the track). Then choose Options/Close disc. It will take a little while, but then your disc should be playable in any CD player.
I'll take a look at providing the option to close the disc concurrent with writing it.
