Title: Audible burn to CD keeps failing on disc 5 of 9
Post by: skeeterfood on July 27, 2010, 10:56:40 pm

Hi guys,

I've tried twice now to burn an Audible book to CD (don't have a player that can handle the Audible format and my previous method of converting to MP3 no longer works under Windows 7) and both times now it has failed when I insert disc 5 with the wonderfully descriptive pop-up error of "Can't start the write".  The Burn Progress in the Action Window also hangs showing "Preparing to write..." forever.  The audio book comes in 2 parts and the first is discs 1-5 and the second 6-9, so I can get all the discs except #5...

I'd try using ITunes instead, but it won't recognize my burner.

Why Oh Why Amazon are Audible books still in a crappy DRM-laden format?

I'm having a very similar problem - see my post 'Burning Problem' on the MC14 board. Looks like it's not going to get solved, so, reluctantly, I'm having to use Nero which works a treat on the burner as does WMP and a few other apps.

Good luck....
