Burning a CD-RW at 2x
Ok. its gonna be long, so i apologise in advance.
I own a Philips Expanium 101 which plays CD-Rs and CD-RWs in audio or mp3-format.
So far, CD-Rs work fine. CD-RWs cause the problems.
I burn my CDs with Nero 6 in ISO 9660 and Joilet format.
I burn using an Imation 52x32x52 CD-writer.
CD-Rs, both mp3 and audio, work fine when i record even at top speed, 52x.
CD-RWs, audio or mp3 format, whether i burn at 4x or the max of 12x that my multi-speed (4x-10x) CD-RWs allow (Sony and Yamaha ones), my expanium reads at "No Disc".
I've sent my expanium for replacement. They changed the CD-drive. So now i'm almost positives its either my burner or CD-RWs. I'm guessing my CD-RWs. Because i read somwhere that expanium reads CD-RW at 2x only. Nero can't burn at 2x. The Windows XP burner can burn at 2x and i burnt my CD-RWs with it. But they were the multi-speed 4x-10x one. And my expanium still can't read.
I'm frustrated as hell. I bought my Exp in march and it still can't play CD-RW, something it should be able to do. I don't know if its my software, my hardware (i sure as heck hope not) or my CD-RWs.
Help!
