1172250	2011-01-24 07:18:00	My father went out and bought some amp thing from a hifi shop to get his music from record to PC. Not sure what exactly, came with a disk with various editing? copying? software on it. Which he can't work out. He recored the records to PC though. He then burnt the .wavs (he says they are in) to CD using Nero - Audio CD. But they won't play through the CD drive in the computer - he tried WMP and VLC. I told him to try it in his car and it played just fine. He wants to know why and I don't know exactly except it would be something to do with the way it wrote it? He said he used actual Audio CDRs to burn onto.	pctek (84)
1172251	2011-01-24 09:07:00	Try a different burning program (WMP will do it) - may be Nero playing silly buggers. If he puts the CD in a computer and opens it, are the tracks in .cda format ? Personally never used the actual Audio CDR, always used any normal plain ol CDr's.	wainuitech (129)

1172254	2011-01-24 11:05:00	I never have that problem with Nero before. Maybe he needs to install some plug-in to play the CD on his PC.	johnmeigharl (16178)
1172255	2011-01-24 19:17:00	When you say it won't play on the PC what you do you mean exactly? Exactly that. No noise. Doesn't recognise it I guess? Why would the PC not recognise but everything else be OK with it (car, standalone CDPlayer).	pctek (84)
1172256	2011-01-24 19:22:00	Nero has been known to do stupid things in the past. Long ago when I used to use it, some data CD's would work OK in one PC, but not in another, changed burners, and generally things work OK.	wainuitech (129)
1172257	2011-01-24 21:52:00	Does the wav file(s) play directly in the PC? How did he split the tracks from the record, or is it one continuous track? Maybe the CD drive has trouble reading a entire wav file, if it was burnt as a complete session.	kahawai chaser (3545)
1172258	2011-01-24 22:11:00	Does the wav file(s) play directly in the PC? How did he split the tracks from the record, or is it one continuous track? Yes. I don't know - the amps software has some thing fro it - I don't exactly how it does it. Maybe it's his optical drive?? I think it's a CDRW/DVD Read.	pctek (84)
1172259	2011-01-24 22:52:00	So his PC can detect that it's an audio CD but it just plays silence? Maybe it's playing through the drives audio interface and there is nothing connected? If there's a headphone jack on the drive what happens if you connect something to that?	Agent_24 (57)
