Lately , whenever I try to burn a CD something plays up.
1 -Roxio 5 basic : about half-way through (track-at-once) I get the standard "encountered an error , shutting down"-message. Half of the CD is burned and works - not good enough.
2 WMP9 : really weird. The last song is said to be "faulty" (during the "converting" stage). When I choose to burn the rest anyway , I get a "insufficient disk space " error - What the ?

It's not the CD's , they're the same I always use - all I know is it started after installing WinAmp. Anyone ?

Problem "solved" - shut down everything that wasn't critical , then figured I'd drop the one song that seemed to be the core of the problem : Summer of '69.
Guess what ? Burned without a problem.

Conclusion : Nostalgia kills Roxio.

roxio kills roxio

should still try nero, you wont go back, esp if you have to ever burn a bin

Might just try that. Does Nero offer more features or is it just more reliable ? It's not like I'll be burning much - just some songs , couple of old DOS games maybe...

just both :lol:
more features and more reliable but if you don't burn much guess it doesn't matter
as a general rule I find people who use it don't burn allot and think its the best cause it came with there computer or cdrw bundled

Mine came with Roxio - or I can use the one in WMP. Anyway , thanks for the help.

Has anyone ever had the same problem (one song screwing up a CD)? Could it be a "bad" MP3 or just a weird glitch ?
