Cannot burn mp3 files to cd that will play on mp3 enabled cd player.

[Firefly]

When I burn mp3 files to cd I can play the files on my computer or using my Philips DVP5990 DVD player (and a tv), but I cannot play them on my Onkyo DX-C390 mp3 capable CD changer. And, since I use the DX-C390, and not my computer or DVD player, to listen to music, this is an issue for me. At first I thought the problem might have something to do with the directory structure on the cd, but it turns out that I can't successfully burn Onkyo playable mp3 cds with all the mp3 files in the root of the cd. I've tried playing around with some of the burn parameters without success.

 

I am using ImgBurn 2.5.1.0 on Win7x64. I have recently migrated to Win7x64 (and a new box). Formerly, I was able to successfully burn mp3 cds, that would play on the Onkyo CD changer, using Nero and WinXp 32-bit. I was hoping to get away from the expensive and bloated Nero. ImgBurn looks good, but I really need it to burn Onkyo playable mp3 cds.

 

I've attached the log files of a couple of the burn attempts I've made, as well as a jpg image of the page of the Onkyo manual that shows the allowed mp3 parameters.

 

Hope someone can help.

Are you sure the Onkyo player can read the discs you're using - full stop?

 

Try burning at a slower speed - 16x.

 

Try getting some Taiyo Yuden CDs, they're the best by far.

 

There's a firmware update available for your drive here - http://www.firmwarehq.com/Samsung/SH-S223L/files.html

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I'm not sure what you mean by "full stop" but the Onkyo has played Ritek, Memorex, Magnavox, and some no-name stuff -- just about anything I've thrown at it. I doubt that disk quality is the issue. I'll try burning at a lower speed, but when I was using Nero I was burning at 40x; however, I was using an earlier model Samsung burner. Thanks for the firmware info; I may try that. If I come up with somethng that works, I'll post it.

Lightning UK!,

Thanks a million for the heads-up on the firmware update. That was the ticket. My box is burning fine now!
