Incompatability while ripping or copying CD's
While 'starting out' transferring all my records and tapes to CD, I had a CD
recorder. I have however found, that while copying my CD's to an external hard drive, that the process stops before the ripping process finishes. On my laptop, I am greeted with the CD making a sort of wirling noise. Meanwhile, my PC thinks it's an incompatibility issue. Now for the ironic bit. My CD's don't seem to be affected.* Otherwise they would not play properly on my Hi Fi CD Player. Meanwhile, any feedback in relation to the above would remain helpful. I'd like to know why the ripping or copying works on some CD's and not others. Michael Feldman *The only exception being. Some of my Pre-recorded CD's either skip or backtrack on my CD units in my kitchen/office. Any feedback on this too, would be useful. |

Incompatability while ripping or copying CD's
Sounds like your CD's might either be scratched or dirty. I computer is much
more precise than a CD player and therefore more susceptible to failing with a dirty or damaged CD. The CD player in the kitchen skipping means that it's probably a cheaper model and has less error correction circuitry. Just my thoughts. Rui "Michael" wrote in message ...

After many burn failures using the cheaper discs I now buy Verbatim discs. Never had a problem since. They cost a bit more but worth it in my opinion. Regards Andrew Wilson |

Incompatability while ripping or copying CD's

Andrew. I thought TDK was supposed to be a good brand. After all, when I was transferring those songs, I had TDK CD Rewritables and some recordables. Of course, with over 1500 songs for the record, one remains only wiser after the event. When I started the project nearly five years back, I was only learning. Never thinking twice about the pitfalls that were to come. To the point then. Could you tell me what format you use with the Verbatim discs? For example. Are you using Rewritables or Recordables to transfer your songs. Another example being, either from tapes or record? Following on from here, I can then return the unopened TDK's I have to the organisation that I originally purchased them from. Michael ?? "Andrew Wilson" wrote in message ...

Michael I use DVD-R and DVD-RW Verbatim discs to save my photographs and not songs but I am sure it would work perfectly well with songs. I burn a file with photographs to an empty DVD-RW using Nero as a start of a multi-session (this means that you can add further files/folders at a later date but ONLY DVD-RW discs support this feature). I can then add further folders in time when they have been downloaded from the camera using Nero's 'Continue multi-session' feature which adds the new folder(s) to the folder(s) saved previously. I can then keep adding folders until the DVD-RW indicates that it is at capacity and the current folder to be written exceeds the free space on the disc. I then transfer all the folders on the DVD-RW to 'My Documents' then insert a DVD-R and burn all these folders to the DVD-R using Nero's 'No Multi-session' feature which burns everything onto the disc in one run and then finalises the disc. I then wipe the DVD-RW and start all over again with the folder that exceeded the DVD-RW's capacity. Taiyo Yuden are another excellent DVD media to buy. Regards Andrew Wilson |

Not true. If you leave a DVD+/-R (or CD-R for that matter) open you can keep adding to it until it's closed. Wouldn't be much point to leaving them open otherwise. W's have a limited life(which may be less than expected) so it's less reliable. YMMV |

Thanks for the reply guys. I'll endeavour to reply properly soon as I'm
getting ready to leave home. Still replying to say that I've seen both your threads. All the best Michael "T Shadow" wrote in message ... "Andrew Wilson" wrote in message ...
