80902 2002-09-19 03:57:00 I download mp3s, burn them either using Musicmatch - or EasyCDCreator software onto a LG CDWriter. What ever I think of first.

I don't configure anything. Just burn it as it is downloaded and manage to get it to play on anything ranging from a really old beatup Sony Playstation, one of the first Phillips CD Players ever made, a Pioneer car CD player to a $3000 Marantz audiophile CD player.

Maybe I am lucky in that all my CDs seem to play on anything I throw at them!

I downloaded a freeware mp3 to wav convertor from downloads com and changed mp3s to wav and then wrote all to cd the normal way as i would always write a cd :-) took a hour to do the writing but everything turned out awesome..even better quality than hearing it on PC (used it on cd player)

Thanks everyone :-)

80906 2002-09-20 08:34:00 Hi Susan B...

Just getting into burning files/MP3's on my new CD Writer. You talk about burning a full disk each time, because I burnt about 29MB of files onto a CD-R...Now I can't burn any more on the same disc using Nero again (it says it can't write to the media). Is this typical? - ie. does a CD-R disc have to be burnt full, since it seems burning small amounts at different times on the same CD-R is not possible...

Thanks...

80907 2002-09-20 09:50:00 Yes, you can burn more files to a CD-R disk if there is still room, but only if you don't "close" the session. You need to ensure that you have it set as "multi-session" before you start burning the first lot of files.

I haven't actually done much of this myself as I mainly use CD-RW disks for files and the CD-R disks for music. I once tried to burn two sessions of music files but the first session's files are unaccessable now and I'm not sure whether I closed the session or not.

The CD writer should be able to read multi-session music disks but if you want to play them in CD players or in the CD-ROM then you will need to burn them all at once, ie fill up the disk in one hit.

80908 2002-09-20 10:38:00 I thought with CD-R discs you only got one shot at it, then it was either what you wanted or it was coaster material. I think they auto close. You only get a second go if you use a CD-RW disc.

80909 2002-09-20 10:43:00 There is another thread on this.

IMOHO: the burner writes a table of contents on the CD each time. You can add more files to a CD-R, but as the TOC wont get overwritten, chances are you wont get to see them.

Burning CDs can at times be a bit of a black art. You got things to worry about like ASPI layers, overburning, compatiblity, ISO / Joliet worries...

Must be time for SusanB to make another FAQ... :p
