Yes.
Tell us what you are doing and what applications/hardware you have.

Most of us cannot see your system nor have we kept notes (at least not
careful ones) on what you have tried and what you have not tried. =)

Hi Shenan,
I'm trying to burn a CD on Window Media Player 10 and I keep recieving the
message: cannot syncronize. What does this message mean? I am not using any
new hardware on my computer and I know how to burn a CD. Thanks for your help
and please reply soon.

These songs - they are on your local machine?

What is my local machine. I found my songs on the media guide from Windows

C drive.

Meaning you could physically move these files to an external drive (CD,
Thumb drive, external ghard drive, etc) or copy them over a network to
another machine and that machine could play them afterwards - whether or not
it was connected to any type of network at the time.

I don't know how to move these files to my C drive and I don't understand how
I could copy them to another network. Sorry.

Know how to use "My Computer"?
Can you find the actual file sin "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer" and get
a file size for one of them?

 

[Guest]

I know how to use my computer (one of the few things I know about the
computer) but I am unable to see the files sizes of the tracks on my computer.

The point he is trying to make is ...
Are the files you are trying burn located on your computer's hard drive or
are you trying to burn files that are on the internet to cd.

CD-R's have bandwidth requirements, if it isn't being feed data at a high
enough speed, then the drive gets ahead of the incoming data stream. This
means blank info gets burned to the disk
and the session will fail.

To ensure MWP can meet the drives needs, you have to download the files from
the internet
before you try to burn them to a cd-r

I have burned my music from the internet and the session still has failed.
Please explain this to me.

What do you mean by "burned my music from the internet"?

Does that mean:

a) You copied it to your local machine and disconnected the Internet (by
physically pulling the plug) and could still play it from your computer.
b) You have - in the past - burned music straight from the Internet - why
would it fail now?

If B - because the internet is not a stable thing - especially on a single
node like yours.

I haven't burned music succesfully from my computer ever. I used my Windows
Media Player Media Guide to find the tracks to burn from. Please if you reply
can you use easier terms so that I can understand?

Your computer's hard drive is like a file folder.

If you are not downloading the musinc into the file folder but merely
putting a link to where it is - then when you disconnect your computer from
the Internet (try it - unplug the cable) - you will be unable to play it.

If you are able to play it whether or not you have Internet connectivity -
then we can figure out where your music is.
(And then if you have a CD/DVD burner, etc.)

I disconnected my computer from the internet and I was unable to play my
music. What does this mean?

play my music. What does this mean?

That it is NOT on your computer.
That you are playing it FROM the internet.
In order to reliably burn it to a CD/DVD - you must have the music saved to
your computer.

You must find a way to save it to your local computer so that you would be
able to burn it to CD. A streaming file is just not going to burn reliably
(not be able to synch.)

You need to find out - from where ever you are getting this music - how to
save the actual files on your computer for offline use.

How do you save music from the Media Player Media Guide to your local
computer?
