| 631945 | 2008-01-20 01:20:00 | This morning I put a music cd into the drive - and it was 'missing' and 'skipping' while playing, so after searching on this forum I then went to Dick Smith and bought a dry laser cleaner disc. I followed the instructions - inserted into the drive and pressed 'play'. It DIDN'T. It did however, work in the TV DVD player - so it does work there. My questions are: Should it clean my computer DVD reader/writer drive? What am my missing? Do I need a new optical drive? The current drive (LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1653S ) has given me sterling service - how DARE it pack a sad on me! As always - TIA. R.M. :) |

| 631946 | 2008-01-20 01:27:00 | Does it only skip etc on this One Music CD - or does it do it to all music CD's ? | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 631947 | 2008-01-20 01:43:00 | No - more than one BUT not on commercial discs, only homeburnt ones. Bother... | R.M. (561) | ||
| 631948 | 2008-01-20 01:45:00 | So, what program did u use?? To make the music cd's? |

| 631949 | 2008-01-20 01:51:00 | Quintessential Player & WIndows Media Player 9. There is the odd skip/pause on the commercial disc, but much less than on the 'homedone' ones. | R.M. (561) | ||
| 631950 | 2008-01-20 01:55:00 | Quintessential Player & WIndows Media Player 9. There is the odd skip/pause on the commercial disc, but much less than on the 'home done ones. You used these to play them on? What program/s did you use to burn (not play) the music cd's? |

| 631951 | 2008-01-20 02:00:00 | Oops - sorry! :blush: Nero 6. |

| 631952 | 2008-01-20 02:06:00 | Hmm ok and did you select MP3 or Audio CD in Nero, NOT data CD?? Thats if you want the cd to play in a normal cd as well. Did u try it in a normal cd player, if you made an audio cd (or MP3 cd), if your standalone cd player can play MP3 cd's? |

| 631953 | 2008-01-20 02:16:00 | Aha - that gives clues to solutions to other unmentioned problems! No - I didn't select mp3 or Audio CD, I just 'copied' so, no I didn't try it on a normal cd player . |
R.M. (561) | ||
| 631954 | 2008-01-20 02:25:00 | Well you have to select Audio CD (then add the MP3's to it, you'll only get maybe 17-18 MP3's on a CD). Or MP3 CD (If your stereo / standalone CD/DVD player can play MP3's, you'll get around 200-250 MP3's on a CD). You dont copy MP3's across to the cd. |
