    Hello,

    I am using Roxio easy CD creator and for some reason it will only burn data onto blank cd's, when I try to burn music(mp3's) it keeps bombing out with an error saying either track error or media error, I have tried various types of cd's and as a result have wasted alot of blank cd's.
    It was on ver: 5.3.4.21 and I've done the updates from the roxio site, and now it is ver: 5.3.5.10p and I've also done the driver update, I am using Win XP, on a compaq nx9000 laptop with a CDRW/DVD rom.
    I am not sure what else to try to get this to work,I know it is not the track error or the media error as I have tried coping the same mp3's on another pc and it works fine, also don't think it is the media as I have tried about 4 types of brand new cd's.

    Any ideas anyone,

    Thanks,

    Are you burning with "track at once" or "disk at once". I burned a few coasters with EZ-CD before figuring out that on a burn-once CD I had to tell the software to burn it all at one swipe.

    Also, try burning at a slow speed. Doing a data CD is simply transferring files, but burning .mp3 to make a music CD has the cpu doing format conversion between .mp3 & .wav, which is pretty cpu intensive. It's possible you can't convert fast enough to feed the burner at high speed.

    i use ezcd and had no problems but do as g.t says . once you are ready to start record . go into the options and you will find the setting there . let us know if you win the battle . good luck :)

    Hi,

    I have tried burning at a slower speed, but no luck, it has a max speed of 24x so I tried 12x,
    I hae the options set to track at once, and not to finalize the session, should I change that to disc at once, and give it a try, I have quite a few coasters already and don't need more,

    Thanks for the help, any other suggestions,

    cant help you much with EZ CD creator as tried it once got fed up of the coasters and lots of other issues so i use nero 6 its the bomb ;)

    all i wanted to say was while your still testing it would be easier to use a CDRW disc to save on the coasters

    and yes also try the disc at once option

    Hi,

    I ahve tried to burn a cd at the slowest speed, 6x and tried it with disc at once and it worked, took a long time to burn, but it worked,
    But the thing is that if I wanted to burn just a few mp3's and finalize the session, I cannot with the dics at once feature and since the track at one does not work, this will be the only way for me to burn cd's, to finalize the cd once off,

    Thanks guys,

    Take care,

    my settings are always the same as you see in the attach. i never finalize the cd but only the session . the only other option is to uninstall ezcd and reinstall just in case there has been a setting change somewhere . only a shot in the dark here

    If you only want to burn music cds why dont you just use xps built in burner through the media player
