Jleagle Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Hi, i have been told ImgBurn has this feature but whenever i try to create a CD it wont play on my old CD player which definitely doesn't support MP3s. Am i doing something wrong? Thanks.
volvofl10 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Imgburn will burn an audio CD for you from MP3 files see the GUIDE HERE or if you have a player that WILL play MP3 files, then just make a data disc of MP3's . The discs you made, do they play on your correctly on your PC ?
Jleagle Posted August 8, 2008 Author Posted August 8, 2008 Cheers for the guide, i must have been searching for the wrong things! The CDs worked fine on my PC so i guess they were data CDs...

Okay i tried this and it doesnt seem to be creatign the CUE file correctly which is not letting it burn. This is the contents of the file, surely every song cant be "INDEX 01 00:00:00".

mmalves Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 That CUE file is right, so what's the problem now? By the way if you moved the MP3s out of that folder then it won't work, since that CUE file has full pathnames pointing to the MP3s.
mmalves Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Are you using the latest ImgBurn available? Please make sure you are Install ffdshow and, in the installer, choose to have it decode audio only (i.e. untick decode video formats). After it's installed try burning your CD again
Jleagle Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 I did a simple upgrade to the latest version and it seemed to get rid of the errors. I burnt the CUE but the resulting CD didn't work on my CD player or my PC. I have the K-Lite Codec Pack which includes: ffdshow audio decoder ffdshow VFW interface ffdshow video decoder
mmalves Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Codec packs are bad because they install a lot of filters you'll never use. Anyway, does that CD play on a standalone DVD player or other players?
Jleagle Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 I just tried on my DVD player and it didn't work.
dontasciime Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 can you not try it in a dedicated cd player or car stereo /ghetto blaster mini hifi thingie

Jleagle Posted August 27, 2008 Author Posted August 27, 2008 Dont i feel stupid! So, i tried again and the CD went okay and played on my PC but not at all on my CD players. Said "No Disc".
dontasciime Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 you got a dvd player you could try the cd in as well and can you try adding making your own .cue for some mp3 files and make audio cd from those and try
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 You might like to try slowing the burn speed down to 16x or 24x too. It'll produce a better burn. Taiyo Yuden seem to make the best CDR's too. I ditched Verbatims (normally great for optical media) in favour of them a while ago and I've never looked back.
Jleagle Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 you got a dvd player you could try the cd in as well and can you try adding making your own .cue for some mp3 files and make audio cd from those and try Just tried the CD in my DVD player and the CD light lit up but it wouldn't play any music.

I ditched Verbatims (normally great for optical media) in favour of them a while ago and I've never looked back. I am using cheap CDs but i didn't think it would stop the CDs from playing altogether, when i used to use iTunes to burn the same CDs they worked perfectly every time.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 If the drive can't read the disc it'll stop them from playing. Drives aren't able to read discs if the disc is just generally crap or burn quality wasn't any good - and that's totally down to the drive/media/firmware. If the PC is able to see it as an audio cd then there's nothing actually wrong with the way it was created. As mentioned in my previous post, try burning at 16x or 24x. That should improve the quality of the burn and maybe your more picky players will be able to initialise the disc properly and play it.
Jleagle Posted August 30, 2008 Author Posted August 30, 2008 Thanks for your help! From now on i will burn everything slower. I have also just bought a new CD player and it seems to play all the CDs that my old one wouldn't, so i wont be having any issue with this anymore.
