Burning problem

Guest

When I burn music files to disc in Media Player, I have recently had some of
the files on some discs not recognized by any of my CD players. In other
words, if I have 15 songs on a disc, maybe only 10 will play. Yet, while
burnining, Media Player says all the songs have been successfully burned.
This has just arisen in the past two weeks. Any help?

What type of files are you burning ? You are burning wave files and not a
mixed disk of mp3 and wave ?

99% of them are MP3 files and 1% are WMA. But on some discs that didn't take, all the files were M3. So mixing the two types could not have been the cause. Any further ideas?

You are burning a data disk then.

The reason I asked is that some players (older ones) may not be able to read
mp3's and or wma files. For example most recent car CD players can at least
read mp3 file, older ones not. Same for hifi sets. Can you at least read all
the files on your PC player ?

You'll need to check the specs of each player to find out if they're
compatible. Also make sure you finalise the CD.

By M3 do you mean mp3 ?

Jerry

No, I am not burning a data disc..I am burning a music disc, or at least trying to. I have been burning music discs for 5 years, so I know that. And it is the same brand of discs that I have used for three months, which worked fine over that period of time. It is not that none of my players recognize the disc with the MP3s because they are old, because they all have been working just fine with all my discs up to now. My problem, again, is that on my recent discs, some of the music that supposedly was burned onto the disc, is just not there when I play the disc, either in my computer's player or my car player (which is a 2007 model). Sometimes the entire disc is empty of music (although Media Players says the burn was successful)....or sometimes just a few songs are missing from the disc. Is it possible my computer's burner is going haywire? I have tried blowing some canned air into the front of the computer tower, in an attempt to get rid of dust, but to no avail.
According to Windows Update, I do not need to update my drivers. So what do I do now??
