Missie 1 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Ok I am going slightly insane trying to burn a cd and i'm not sure where I am going wrong... I have burnt loads before but this one has me stumped! It says the cd has copied, completed and been sorted so it can be played on other devices but when I tried to play it in my car or on my cd player it won't work. I put the cd back into the laptop and it detects the tracks and asks if I want to import them yet on other devices it picks up nothing, can anyone tell me what I may have done wrong and how to fix it..?

hagar 5 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 you recorded in the wrong format i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hey there stranger.... indeed you have i would say recorded in the wrong format..... take a look through the burn settings on the program your using.... you have a few formats, WMA, or MP3, being the popular ones..... Mp3 only works with a compatable mp3 player, take a gander at the settings and i hope you get sorted... Snap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Missie 1 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Ah, yes many of the songs are in MP3 format, how do I go about changing the format of them to record properly? Thank you guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 firstly have you got an enabled mp3 player in your car...? if not all songs need to be in WMA..... i can't qiute remember how to change the settings, its only a matter of ticking a box so all you download gets converted to that format..

John Keswick 119 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 You could use window media player to burn the disk, select the tunes you wish to have on your cd and then burn audio disk. Each incarnation of WMP is a bit different, but its pretty straight foward P.S Women and computers are like women and machinery (IN PARTICULAR - CARS), they DO NOT MIX!

sky08 3 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 could u be recording on a cd-R and ur cd player only play's cd+R's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Missie 1 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I've never had this problem before and the cd's are the same as I always use so should be fine. I've tried burning the cd from windows and itunes and neither seem to work, i'm proper stuck! Thank you for the smart arse comment, I happen to usually be quite good with cars and technology, I am just experiencing a small blip... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 download the latest WMP, and that should give you a clean sheet to try on.... if you cant get the settings sorted.... just a thought.... but it should work.... Snap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
