Recording Issue on CD-R

Post by Harbourcruises » Tue Feb 23, 2010 10:22 am

I have a problem burning my files on to a CD-R disc, the PC disc drive is operating ok, but the disc is not registering.

Any idea why this may be so?.

Windows machines need a CD Authoring Program to recognize the disk and prepare the music for burning. I use Nero, Veritas, Easy CD Creator, and iTunes. That and CD-R disks make the best home-burned disks. You can try CD-RW and the other variations, but some music players may not recognize them.
