New XPX 9100 - Roxio Creator Music CD's Have An Odd Problem - All the music but only One Track!
I just got off the phone with Dell Tech Support who can hardly be bothered
with my problem. For years I've used my Dell laptop to burn music cd's, either from mp3's or ..wav files and the discs play perfectly on all of my various CD players around the house. Now on my new Win 7 machine (well, bought last November), I started to burn music cd's. I used Roxio Creator (and Winamp, too) create music cd's and the strange result is that these discs have all the music, but none of the track markers are accessible on regular CD players. My CD players indicate the number of tracks but can't access any but the first track which then plays the entire music program. The cd's play from start to finish with the timing indicator passing right through the entire program as if it were all just "Track 1." I've never had such a problem with Roxio (or Winamp) on my Vista Dell laptop. About all Dell Tech Support could accomplish was to update the Firmware for the DVD/CD burning drive but that didn't change anything. Complicating matters is that Microsoft's Windows Media Player WILL burn music cd's correctly. They play normally on all my CD players. Dell suggested I re-install Roxio, but my system didn't come with any program discs, I'd have to get that from Dell, right? Dell Tech Supported wanted to hand me over to Dell's Software Solutions, which will charge a fee for any help. Has anybody ever heard of such an odd situation? Does anybody have any suggetions? peter |

Christopher, Thank you for this response (my only one?!). Can you guide me to where in Roxio I can set the "file system" to "udf"? Thanks for any help! -- Peter Greenstein http://www.wakefieldjazz.com/ |

Thanks, Christopher. I'll give that a try, but I noticed that my Vista
laptop has the "iso-juliet" setting and burns CD's that play just fine on my various cd players. peter "Christopher Muto" wrote in message t...

The problem seems to be that disc copy isn't putting 2 seconds between the tracks. I have uninstalled and reinstalled , added roxio SP4 ,still nothing. I did find a free program called CDBurnerXP that works great. I'm using windows XP with roxio creator 2009. |

I did find a free program called CDBurnerXP that works great. I'm using windows XP with roxio creator 2009. Hi Jeff, Wow! You're the first person I've heard to report the same problem. Dell is mistified and what worries me is why they don't have others with this issue. They keep telling me it must be a software issue. "Change your settings. Goodbye." I keep asking them if they won't consider that it might be a series of slightly defective CD/DVD burning drives. They say drives either work or they don't work. Yes, I tried changing the udf thing and it didn't make any difference. My Dell laptop (Vista) from 2 1/2 years ago burns CD-R's perfectly. Did I mention that Windows Media Player burns CD's perfectly? I tried CDBurner briefly but it froze up so I uninstalled it. I guess I didn't give it enough of a chance. Roxio does back up data files without a problem. Since WMP burns fine and CDBurner works for you, we obviously have a way to work-around this problem. But Roxio is a pretty nice program, makes decent CD covers, etc. Itunes is a REALLY nice program but the CD's made with it are also defective. Same with WinampPro, which I paid money for. I use that program to burn flac format files directly to CD. I sent a question to Roxio but haven't heard back from them. I think they do support Dell users. -- Peter Greenstein http://www.wakefieldjazz.com/ |

Hello Chris, Sorry. Yes, it is the Dell edition of Roxio, version 10.3. Dell sent me a disc of it to try reinstallation. I was told this disc has the latest patch. But Itunes (vers 10.1.2.17) AND WinampPro (vers 5.6) produce the same defective CD-R's. Multiple tracks burned, but my three CD players pass right through every track point without the track index advancing, as if the entire CD consisted of one long track. Oddly, my old DVD player will play these discs correctly as will any computer. Perhaps my computer is trying to tell me that the CD is dead, kaput. It's time to get an Ipod, an Ipad and get with it. Well, I am on Facebook and I text while driving, so there! -- Peter Greenstein http://www.wakefieldjazz.com/ |
