    Audio CD won't play on pc.

    Software/Audio Player Question.

    Hi All. I've heard all about how the ability of an audio player to play a CDR could depend on the media, the burn speed, the drive used to burn, etc...BUT...does it also depend on the burning software used?

    SERIOUS Sound Problem!

    Hi All. My pc was playing sounds fine but then decided it will gradually stop playing ANYTHING.

    mp3 or wav to CD?

    Hi all. I am hoping to put some Real audio (rm, ra, etc) onto audio CDR and wanted to know if it is better to convert the files to mp3 first or wav first. Which would result in better quality? Would it matter, bearing in mind that the burning software will convert them to whatever it converts...
