I would try a different CDR brand. There has been reports that certain brands do not play on anything other than computer CD Rom drives for some reason. It is worth a try. What brand are you using right now?

Hi everyone. If any of you can help me out, I would really appreciate it. Heres the deal. I burned a cd-r using easy cd creater to make an Audio cd so i could play it in my car. I converted the MP3's into .wavs. Then burnt them to the cd-r. Well I can play them in the PC at home and here at work. But I am unable to play it in my car or home stereo. Any ideas why or what I should do so that i can make it work?

Thank you very much.....Have a good day of work.

I believe I burned at 2x. I just bought an Internal Yamaha 8x 4x 24x

I can burn alot faster but it makes you past tests at smaller speeds forst b4 you can use the faster speed to ensure that your system can handle it.

I have a 450 pentium III 128 ram, so I know it can handle it.

What do you think?
 
You might want to do a search on the BBS on this topic. I don't do CDs (yet) but my understanding is that consumer CDs are not a .wav file, but some other format. Also, if you are useing a data CD-R for PC, that is not the same as an audio CD-R for CD players. The other problem could be that you used a CD-RW, which cannot be read on machines without the CD-RW capability. If you are using data CDs, you will need to burn them to Red Book specs before your home are car CD player will be able to play them. Hope that helps a little.

Peace, Jim
 
In adaptec EZCD you did specify an audio cd and not data (I know you sorta said this already, just making sure). Also, some brands of CD-R media do not always play in consumer cd-players, car cd-players. CD-RW's will not play in home or car cd-players at all.
 
Are the CD players rather old? I think older CD players might not play CD-Rs. My home stereo CD player is about eight or nine years old and won't play CD-Rs.

And as was already said, CD-RW discs will definately not play. The lasers in audio CD players are not strong enough to read CD-RW. This is really a bummer, since you'd like to make a mix and then hear how it sounds on your home stereo or car stereo without wasting a disc.

Well first off the Cd players are rather new...so thats not the problem. In easy cd creator i did specify audio format. Ya know I may think that it has to do with the type of cd-r I used. It might not be digital audio. Will that effect it. Or can any CD-r be used.

Thanks for all your help guys !!!
Much appreciated
 
Actually...about not being able to play CD-RWs in CD players...not TOTALLY true. I just recently bought a new personal CD player that plays CD-RWs, or at least claims to. It's made by Phillips, not a great one by any means, but if you hook it to your stereo with a nifty little rca adapter...bingo, you can mix, erase, mix, erase, mix, erase...all on one disk. I've never tried this, if anyone has, i'd love to know how it turned out. Just thought i'd let ya'll know. Have a good one...

Sacarap,

Are you sure that you just didn't put the wave files in as "data". In easy creator, you have the choice to make either a "data" CD (raw wav and other data files) OR an "audio" CD in ".cdi" format I think. Which one did you select. Wav files will not just play in any CD player, it has to be the cd audio format.

Yea I am definitly Sure i chose Audio

The tracks are in this format

track1.cda
track2.cda
track3.cda
Etc....
 
Did you close the session on the disc? In EZ-CD creator, it's on the second tab, and by default is set at DON'T CLOSE THIS SESSION, for some unknown reason.

A normal CD player will not be able to read a CD that does not have it's session closed (and subsequently it's table of contents written to the disc). In fact some older CD-ROM can't read them either.

Currently the files are in the right format (.cda tags and show up as 1K in size in explorer)

Oh yeah, there is a patch for Adaptec EZ-CD, which is well worth the effort (the patch is pretty old, but I think they are still shipping the unpatched versions with CD-burners

Mike, in order for you to hear the CD on a "regular" CD player, car, portable, system... you must Close the Disk when using Apdac Easy CD Creator, u can still do this after its done burning, its in the options right before you start to burn the CD, hope this helps, later
