Hey Gang,

Just wonderin if any of ya using this know what setting to use so you can keep adding new tunes to the same CD?..Ive tried the " track at once " setting and it doesnt work..Looks to be there bees more I have to do but I dont understand some of that tech talk SOOOO, if someone would be so kind in shedding some light on this, maybe walkin me thru the steps, the ole bastage would appreciate it..

Thanks,
John

Hey John I’m not quite sure what you mean by “doesn’t work” are you unable to burn a song on a CD or… the song gets burned on the CD but you’re unable to burn additional songs?

If you can’t burn songs after the first one is burned on the CD… then you have to disable to “finalize command” at least that’s how it works with my software.

The finalize command is used when a CD is completed thus allowing that CD to be played on any CD player, if the CD is not finalized then you can burn additional songs, a non finalized CD can be only played on the computer used to burn the CD and no other CD players.

Hope this helps, if I misunderstood your question disregard all the above.

Just drag the tracks you want from the first CD, then eject it and insert the next CD. Drag and drop and repeat until you have all the tracks. The software will prompt you when to insert the proper CD (it gets that last track first since it's in memory, then asks for the first, etc).

Hey Guys,
Thanks for gettin back with me..Well, I found a way to make it work BUT, the tunes will only play in the computer, and NOT the boom box which is WHY I did this in the first place ..I need these tracks to practice away from home...Yeah, heres the steps I used..I chose "CD-ROM ISO"setting instead of "Audio" CD...Then chose " Multi-session"...Then "write"(like I always do)....Then "track at once" ...then burn to 16X24...Presto!...It starts burning BUT , I notice that there is only 1 burning indicator indicating the percentage completed..(Normally there are 2 in the "audio CD" mode...Yeah ,It shows the turn getting ready to be burned in a darker black print when draggin and droppin to the folder AND like I say, they play fine in WMA on the puter , BUT, not in a boom box..The boom box just reckonises 1 track???..The conuter shows it playing but ya dont hear nothing???...And ideas boys???

Thanks ,
John

I've had similar problems...recently burned a CD, plays on the PC and the car stereo, but nothing on the boombox.
Technology sucks.

Hey Kidd...would you want to play around w/doing a drum track on a song I just recorded? it has guit/voc/bass tracks and I'd like to see what you'd come up with. that is if you want to and have recording gear enough to add the song file w/it? get me at www.myspace.com/blunderingeye or blunderingeye@yahoo.com
hope to hear from ya....

Are they CD-R's or CD-RW's? Cause some boom-boxes and stereos can't play CD-RW's.

Also, I suggest getting Roxio and using that instead of Nero. It's easier to use, and it doesn't suck so bad.

I've been using the CD burner thingy in my Windows Media Player. Reasly select and burn tracks. But........ once its done, its done.

Hey Gang,
Yeah , I tell ya boys. Ive blown 2 pwr amps in boom boxes lately and they were the ones i could LINE IN an MP3 player to...So now I have an Mp3 player that never gets used...Then, this dick beaten boom box I have now, the cassette quit working (been thru 3 of the same in 3 yrs) so I cant even use my old tapes to practice, AND its the disloyal F that wont play CD-Rs when the puter plays them just fine..I have a dickbeaten cassette player only in the van but its a B to use to practice having to open the door to FWD and REW all the time..Then I have a dickbeaten computer that likes to mess with my tracks after Ive recorded them.Cant make up its mind whether the D drive is bad or not so I just starts showin itself unexpectantly like a 4 yr old..Yeah , Joseph, I think its safe to say TECHNOLOGY SUCKS ASS, BALLS ,DICK and whatever else it can get its squeegy lips on..Yall think Im pissed ..If it wasnt for you guys, and others on a local board , this B woulda been shot into a zillion pieces over at the firing range by 7.62X39...Yeah , Ryan Ill see if I can try to understand "Roxio"...Nero works Ok I guess, just hard to understand..You guys know better than me..Actually, I was told it was becuase of the ISO but thats the only mode you can do multi session? Hell, who can F in this kinda weather, I give up...

John

Deep breath. Let it out gently and squeeze the trigger.

Oh man, you're funny. Take it easy, man. I don't like CDs or Nero.. Can't help.. but take the advice, and take it easy

If I could just PLEASE HAVE A EFFFFING BOOM BOX FROM 1978, ALL MY EEEEEFFFFFIN TROUBLES WOULD BE OVER BECUASE, it would have a line in...
I would like to personally torture the people for HRS ON END who first , decided we would do away with 1/4 " and replace it with 1/8 in AND who EEEFFFed Boomboxes up by taking away Mic in , Line in/out ...Like that guy who spent 40,000 $ to ship his car to Germany to have the oil changed , I WOULD Pay $$$ for a BOOM BOX that had a line in , with at least 5 in speakers/ bass boost etc. ..HELL, the tape deck doesnt even have to work..

John

I'll check the Pawn shop where I work on monday!
I doubt they have one, but if they do I wont hold you to your price quote.

I have Nero, it came with a Pioneer DVD player/recorder. Never used it much...now the damn thing won't even play movies, seems i have to pay extra for the decoder...don't think so. It is a few years old now, so with the coding they put on movies, DVD's and CD's nowadays it's no wonder you have to upgrade, BULL!!!

It's a racket to sell more crap.
