I repeatedly get an "Insert blank CD" message when I try to burn an audio CD.  MC doesn't recognize my drive or doesn't see that there IS a blank CD inserted.  What do I do?  MC plays from the drive fine.

Did it burn ok with a previous version of MC? (which version?)
 Are you under a limited user account, or do you have admin privilege?

[MCconvert]

Media Jukebox burned beautifully, never had a problem.  When I was forced to upgrade to MC, I started with 450.  I have yet to be able to burn a CD with MC.  I have administrative privileges.

Did you reboot after installing?  It shouldn't be necessary, but it's worth a try.

Did you try reinstalling?

[MCconvert]

Yes I rebooted twice.

I am still looking for a solution to my problem.

I have upgraded from MC 451 to MC 470 and have the following system:

I don't know if this would help or not, but you could remove the old ASPI drivers. I don't think they are needed anymore, but probably MC uses them if they are installed.

At least you could update the Adaptec ASPI drivers to the last version (released in 2002):

The version 4.60 was released before XP.

This is just a plain old blank 74 or 80 minute CD and you're not prepping it or formatting it with other software right? And you are selecting the audio cd mode in MC?

Please send me a log file. Enable "output to a log file" in Help/Logging. Then attempt a burn, then "click to email log files" to johnt at jriver.com

Thanks.

John T, I have followed your instructions and sent you an email from my email account with log attachment.  Hope this leads to the solution.
