| 175592 | 2003-09-15 22:05:00 | I have just burnt my first Music CDs - created from WAV files from vinyl. When I play them back on the PC where they were created, they are fine. If I play them on my home music system, they are OK (in fact they are excellent!) initially, but eventually go all fuzzy and peculiar, or just stop playing back. I noticed that two CDs both stopped at about the same time into the playback - about 12 minutes. Any suggestions as to what is happening? I wondered if it had to do with the speed at which they were recorded, but I thought I would ask the question before I sacrifice any more blank CD-Rs :D TIA |

| 175593 | 2003-09-15 22:28:00 | Try reburning the CD at a slower speed... Faster speeds result in more jitter errors which older CD players (and some new ones!) don't like very much. If you can, try burning at 2X or 4X, and see if you get the same result. It's a pain, but it's the best thing you could do. Lo. |

| 175594 | 2003-09-15 22:38:00 | Thanks Lohsing, I'll try that. I'd suspected that might be the case. | tbacon_nz (865) | ||
| 175595 | 2003-09-15 23:02:00 | Yeah burning at slower speeds might fix the problem but if it doesn't you might want to try CD-R Audio Cd's. I use TDK's CD-R Audio XA80 or XA74, they're designed for audio and I haven't had any trouble with any audio CD's since I started using them. Give it a go... it might fix ur problem but I would say that writing at a slower speeds will probably fix it straight away. cheers |

| 175596 | 2003-09-16 00:30:00 | I've just re-burnt one CD at 4x and that seems to be OK - so thanks for the tips. | tbacon_nz (865) | ||
| 175597 | 2003-09-16 00:33:00 | Hey Chiefnz - The Audio CD-R's are a waste of money, unless you have a standalone music burner... the CD's are no different from run of the mill CD-R's but have an inner track which is read by the CD burner which confirms it is a "For Consumer Use" CD-R... Check on the case for the "For Consumer Use" wording which should be on the bottom right corner on the bottom of the CD-R case. Lo. |

| 175598 | 2003-09-16 01:32:00 | In my experience some el cheapos work and others dont. The Dick Smith branded ones have worked fine for me - tested on 5 different media to dateissues with different players but I couldnt get the Harvey Norman branded ones to work on anything (except the PC) so will steer clear of those unless purely 4 data. | parry (27) | ||
| 175599 | 2003-09-16 01:59:00 | The problem that caused my original post was using Imation disks but as I said reducing the write speed seems to have fixed things (on a very small sample of 3) :D | tbacon_nz (865) | ||
