Burning to CDs

[Diodena]

I've been recording live sound on minidisc, uploading with sonicstage, and burning to cds on my computer. I sent a cd to someone in another country who says he can play my cds back in his computer but not on his cd player. They played perfectly for me when they left here.

Gosh I'm old. I find myself longing for the analog days I was used to! Sure was easy to understand tape. I'm not sure what would cause this and I'm not familiar enough with minidisc and cd formats on the technical side to even make a guess. My cds play fine on everything I've ever put them in here and no troubles. I had always thought cds are universal internationally but maybe I'm way out of date.

Has anyone else run into a few cd players that can't use some cds? Is it a problem with the cd, the minidisc, the transfer to .cda in sonicstage? I also tried messing with the files in Nero and it tells me there's a file problem even on a cd that plays perfectly. Is there some difference in format that comes with using minidisc to cd? In other words is the file created in sonicstage not a real .cda file maybe? I started messing with it to start with because Sonicstage can't seem to put permanent labels on any of my tracks either.

Thanks much in advance. Hope someone has some guidance on this subject.

i had ran into the same problem while making an AUDIO CD with nero, it just some CD players that can't play them back.

perhaps is a copy protection thing????

make sure when you burn that you 'close' the cd. there's an option on nero & other burners that allows you to add data at a later date. you want that turned off.

When I want to get my Hi-MD recordings to CD after uploading to SonicStage, I convert them to WAV and use other CD burning software. I really only ever use SonicStage for getting my recordings to PC.

Thanks raintheory. I will try that. I have had trouble with other software claiming the wavs converted from sonicstage aren't readable. Have you seen this? Maybe thats the problem here.
