?
I don't know. he's not terribly clear on what exactly happens.
Just said it won't play. Does in standalone players. It doesn't recognise it - how exactly, don't know - what error - don't know.

1172261 2011-01-25 21:16:00 You really need more detail to get an accurate answer.

I've never used Audio CDR's as they cost more and offer no advantage over normal CDR. I believe the purpose was for stand alone consumer appliances and possibly copy protection so the disc type could be an issue, burn a cheap normal CDR the same way and see what happens - they cost less than $1.

Also a frustrating thing is some discs and some drives simply don't get along with each other, changing media brand can often fix problems like this.

A bit of perserverance with audio software can be worthwhile as well, never alter the original wav files (ie save your efforts as a new file) but you can remove much of the noise from records with a bit of trial and error especially any continuos background noise like rumble or crackle. Pops require quite a bit more effort and are best edited out manually by cutting out a tiny amount of the waveform (auto filters seldom get them very well)
