Nero 5.5.8.0 problems with audio playback via stereo

[freQ*]

I was advised to post this here as someone thought that it might be better

This is a summarised version of my posts h**p://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=315784#post315784 I thought that it would be more suited in this section of the forum .

Well , i have just wasted 2 cds following the advice that i should convert to .wav .

5.Convert the MP3s to WAVE and normalize them to burn faster.

I have burned one cd , using the same methode i have listed below but not converting to .wav . The only problem was that i had 2 second gaps in it (which i now know how to fix) and the cd took a long time to start playing and this was using a expensive sony mini system (my GFs) that is no more than 6 months old.

This is how is did it :

Used CDEX to convert my MP3s to .wav
Started up Nero 5, which automatically went to the wizzard
Went CD --> Compile a new CD --> Audio CD --> Finish

I then found the .wav files that i had saved into a new folder in my documents . Dragged each .wav file into the audio1 window.

Made sure that "Check for correct CD format before burning" was ticked.

then : Edit --> properties "Pause" --> changed to 1 second

then : File --> write CD

Selected 12x

I then tryed to play it , and it just came up under track one (didn't show how many tracks and mins, like it usually does) made a funny noise and then went back like it had no disk in it .

I thought that .wav was the format that you use to burn ?

I am using a LiteON 40125-S
Imation 700/80MIN 1x-16x
I also have a Old HP 2x2x24 cd burner hooked up as well.

1) I noticed that my buffer seam to be close to 100 % all the time Is this ok , even writting at 12 X ?

2) Whats the difference between letting nero go from .mp3 -> .cda than going from .mp3 -> .wav -> .cda

3) Is there a Brand of CD writting software that will convert to the best format for cd writting from MP3 that is nice and easy and not a huge download ?

4) Could someone tell me weither the methode i used to burn take MP3s and burn them to a CD was whats they would normally do with nero 5 ?
I know i am doing something wrong as my stereo does play cd-rs, it just must be stuck in the wrong format or something.

5) I found that this CD that wouldn't play on my stereo, would play fine on my computer. Why is this ? Is this because nero might have not converted wave --> .cda ?




Please , someone HELP me

Thankyou all

Use EAC

My advice, use EAC (Exact Audio Copy) and here is a tutorial

EAC tutorial: /http://www.ping.be/satcp/tutorials.htm

questions --

Will that make mixed CDs ?
Will it convert from MP3 to the right format for my stereo ? and then burn to CD without a problem ?

 

[Lakeside]

1) Yes
2) Yes

EAC is considered the best audio burning program around, unless you have a Plex writer, Follow the tutorial m8, can't go wrong

EAC probs

In that tutorial , it dosn't say anything about burning ?

I just want a step by step guide to burning an audio cd from MP3

@poke You have a very short memory Probably because of all the smoke ya inhale and twinkies&caffeine you consume
I use Plex Tools, not EAC. I've burned mixed mode with EAC countless times and if you don't know how to do that, then maybe you shouldn't be using the prog

Many refer mixed mode as several audio tracks of either wave or mp3 format extracted from more than 1 cd or downloaded from da internet. And yes, I CAN copy wih EAC. Some other people refer to mixed mode (like you) as several audio tracks and 1 data track.

I don't care for poke's defination mixed mode, cd extra. I NEVER said EAC can copy data Open EAC, then click write cd-r>add wave or mp3>burn. It's that freakin' simple Poko
CD plays on my dvd, stereo, car stereo... Lordy.... DON'T tell me what I can, and can't burn poko!!!!!!!!!!!!!
