Hope you can help with this one.

I had Roxio installed on a 2nd hand computer I bought and despite burning audio CDs at the lowest possible speed, the results were generally crap. I tried the uility in Windows Xp the other day - the first 3 tracks played fine and then I got a CD ERROR message.

I've since bought a 2nd hand copy of Nero. Anything to look out for? Am I doing something obviously wrong?

Cheers

Make sure your not using cheap cdr's (everyone has their favorite brands but I always stick to TDK)

Also it depends how your are copying tracks (cd to cd direct) or brining them down to PC first - because depending on this you need to work out the best IDE channel to put the burner on.

ALSO !! - If you are ripping tracks off cd to mpeg on your hard disk AND are using digital recording i.e. direct through IDE channel, some cheap players and/or burners just don't work reliably.

 

Thanks mate - I'll do some checking.
