NavajoEverclear Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Burnable CDs i stole from my dads office. I burn, and then i cant access the songs, accept we this fancy five-changer stereo mabobber, and it does work on that, but in any of the other players it doesn't even seem to start spinning. I might be able to figure out by simply asking my dad what kind of CDs that he bought (it doesn't say on them, they are completely blank accept a serial number), but the purchase was crap, probably because he didn't know what he was buying. Like those garbage bags without the ties. My parents need to let me do the shopping, cause no offense but they aren't competent buyers. So do you know what the problem is so i can buy my own blanks and not make the mistake my father evidently did. I didn't even know there were different kinds of cds really.

YT2095 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 there are a few different sorts of CD, IIRC, there`s comething the 74 min ones and the 80 min, and then there`s DVD types. not only that, but sometimes a bad batch does occur (it`s happened to me). or some will burn but a month later no matter how much care you take, the data will become corrupt have you tried a KNOWN working blank and copied onto it, then done the same with one of your dads after? it might be an idea to try that, that way you`ll know it`s the CDs and not something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavajoEverclear Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 Its definately the CD, i had one good one from the last batch we bought, and got the stuff i was burning to work on that. I don't think its a BAD batch, cuz it does work on the stereo system, just not any other cd player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 What file format did you burn to the CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 (I think this is true). you have to burn the discs at speed lower that your readers maximum reading speed. i.e if u burn at 52 and ur cd player can only read at 4. then i dont think it will work. Is this true??? cos i heard it somewhere. maybe its not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavajoEverclear Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 not sure what format, i was just burning an audio CD, and it cant be the file, cause the same burn worked on another blank of a different brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodhound Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 well. the thing is when i burn to a blank CDR my cd player recognises it. well at least when i copy an audio cd anyway. never tried burning mp3s to a audio cd on CDR. but when i burn mp3s onto an audio CD on a CD RW, i never can play them.

Sayonara Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Play them on what? The PC or another device? I am now wondering if people are trying to play mp3s through CD players, stereos etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 a good DVD player will happily play most formats, that`s what I use as my "test bed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blike Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I am now wondering if people are trying to play mp3s through CD players, stereos etc. I've seen it happen many times. A lot of new players come with that capability though. Burnable CDs i stole from my dads office. I burn, and then i cant access the songs, accept we this fancy five-changer stereo mabobber, and it does work on that, but in any of the other players it doesn't even seem to start spinning. Maybe it's a CD-RW. Many players only support CD-Rs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I've seen it happen many times. A lot of new players come with that capability though. Yes, but my point was that if this were the case then the device in question probably doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 i meant burning audio cds from mp3s. not just burning mp3 on a cd and trying to play them on a bog standard cd player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Does the lead in/lead out data differ between CDA and mp3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 CDDA and MP3 have different leaders/headers, yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 my sony mp3 cd player recognises mp3s even if they are burned as a data cd. is there a difference between that and a mp3 cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 the codec specs are a standard, but from there it all depends on firmware in the reproduction device, for instance I can do MP3,CDDA, VCD, SVCD on my dvd player, it may not recognise a different format though, and would need a re-flash hope that makes some sense? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 my sony mp3 cd player recognises mp3s even if they are burned as a data cd. is there a difference between that and a mp3 cd mp3s should be burned as data. I'm thinking that if you burn CDA as data or mp3 as audio they may not work unless it's a very smart device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
