AndySpak Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 what are you using to play it? Is it an iPod (or some other MP3 player) or are you burning MP3's to a CD (as MP3's not CD tracks) and trying to play it in your car stereo? Quote
stuey Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 im tryin to play it in me car stereo............. its an alpine cd and mp3 wma player...........ive burned it on to a disc which is a dvd rw which i was told is also an audio cd Quote
neo Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 which disc's you using,could be the brand of disc's that your stereo doesn't like are you coping the .mp3 files straight to the disc or in folders, such as 1.mp3 2.mp3 3.mp3 or tracks/1.mp3 or tracks/ablum/1.mp3 ??? Quote
AndySpak Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Hmmm, I'm not totally familiar with the head unit but I would try a standard CD-R disc and see if that cures the problem. Some CD drives won't read recordable DVD media. Quote
stuey Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 i give up.................... why cant these thing be made simple to do............... Quote
stuey Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 im using a cd rw now but i just dont know how to use the programme................. Quote
AndySpak Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 i give up.................... why cant these thing be made simple to do............... Like everything in life, its simple when you know how. Have you tried using standard CDR media? Quote
stuey Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 ive got roxio........... and i seem to have windows aswell..................... do i use one or the other.... they both confuse the hell outa me............ Quote
AndySpak Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 im using a cd rw now but i just dont know how to use the programme................. Do you have any CD-R (not RW) media? If any type of recordable media is going to work, thats going to be it. If its just a case of copying the MP3 files on to a CD as MP3 files, you should be able to use Windows XP's built in capabilities to do it. Try opening the blank CDR in My computer and then dragging your MP3 files onto it. You'll then have to click the "Write these files to a CD" button on the left. If you are using Vista, I'm sorry but I don't know what the process will be. I'm sure its got the capability though. Quote
stuey Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 i cant tell weather or not im copying mp3 files or normal................. i just havnt got a clue............... Quote
Zummertor Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Reading this thread I'm getting confused, ok I know I start in that state normally. May be able to help, what is it you are trying to do ? and I don't mean burn MPs etc. e.g. Get more music files onto CD's to have fewer in car, put files onto a memory stick or other device to play in car or something else ?
