Just wondering why when I put mp3's on my disk(tdk) and use nero, the songs skip on my cd player...brand new alpine, and regular burned cds sound great...if anyone can help me with this..thanks..i really want to see myself get 150 songs on a cd

 

I dont know much about MP3 Car Stereos, but perhaps the manufacturer specified a certain limit of quality for the files ( 96kbits or something ), not sure.

 

Do they only skip if recorded by nero or do they only skip when burned onto TDK CDRs?

 

i havent tried switching cds...i did however switch options from track-recording ..to disk-recording...which means it records it as one big file, instead of 200 little ones...so far..so good...

 

I havent had that problem, I've had a differant one. On my rockford MP3 deck, some songs will take 5-10min to accually start playing. I still havent figuied it out.

 

some options for you to try would be to:
-try a different buring software
-try burning at slower speeds. sometimes players won't play stuff burned at higher speeds)
-try different disks

what are you encoding at? some players cant play higher rates well or even at all (but my new jvc sh909 should be able to do VBR and 320. whoo hoo).

let us know how it goes

 

if you're burnin them at a high speed like CAMp3RO said, try slowing the burn down. I tried bruning a CD at 48bk/s once and all it did was skip, when i slowed it down to 32kb/s all the CDs burn fine and don't skip.. Hope that helps.

WOW!!!!! Not trying to sound mean, but you need 96Kbps to get CD quality sound. Your MP3 player sucks dude. BTW, that's not the burn rate, that's the bit-rate. Two totally different things.

I'll make copies of the same song at different rates then post a link to them and you can listen to the difference.

I've got a Jensen MP3310 ($150) in my wife's MX6 and I can burn 128Kbps all day long and it's fine.

92camaro44,
If you're burning them onto a disc in MP3 format, why even use a program? Your OS can do it. All you do is open the window for the blank disc, open the folder of the songs you want on the disc, highlight the songs you want, paste them into the widow for the disc, then click "Copy Files to CD"

That's all you should need to do.

 

It's in the same location as my sound clip for my exhaust. Here's the link to make it quick for ya.

There are 2 files. "Cut 128Kbps" and "Cut 32Kbps"

Both are in MP3 format.

Hope this helps. And again, I'm not trying to knock your MP3 player, but there's no reason it shouldn't play 128Kbps.

 

Are you talking about the record speed to the disk (like 4x, 8x, 16x) or the quality of the record off the sorce (32kb/s, 128kb/s)

Changing the recored speed to the disk should help to prevent mistakes in the finial recording process.

 

AJ, I think he meant 48x and 32x, not 48kbps and 32kpbs. After all, he did say "burning at a high speed," not "burning high quality files."

And hey, not every OS has native CD-Burner support! I'd imagine a huge number of users here, like me, are still on Windows 98, which DOES require a separate program for burning CD's. And besides, though I can't speak for everyone, I've always had better results when using a traditional program like nero or roxio than when using native support (on friends' computers) or drag-and-drop programs like in-CD.

 

I guess he could have meant 48x or 32x, but I've never seen a burner that fast. Have you? They make them that fast? That would make life MUCH better.

AFAIK, if you have or installed a CD-RW drive, the driver for it should prompt windows that it's there and should be brought up as an option everytime you do what I said to.

My friend has '98 and his does it?

Maybe you could get by with using Windows Media Player? I don't know.

 

i meant speeds, like from 48x to say 16x. sorry to confuse anyone (if i did). i also prefer nero or easy cd creator as opposed to winxp, just because i'm stubborn. .

 

Ive used nero and easy creator and I like nero a whole lot better

 

Huh. I guess I'm just too cheap to buy it.

Cheap and easy. That's me. :sillylol:

 

I use roxio to rip my reg cd's to MP3, than to make the MP3 disks.

 

Yeah, the fastest burners on the market are now 52x24x52...

And the only way win98 can support drag-and-drop is if you have a program like inCD installed. It never worked too well for me, so I got rid of it... but I've never heard of a cd burner coming with drivers that added that feature. Some do come bundled with inCD (my mother's did), though.

 

Thats what you think

 

anything faster causes problems. i read a few articles about it. i think pioneer used to make a 72x cdrom, but disks would spin so fast that they would get hairline cracks in them and then shatter. but come on, whats wrong with waiting a total of 2 mins for a 74-80 min cd to burn? the best program to rip and compress cds is EAC (for the ripping) and LAME for encoding. these are by far the BEST progs for making mp3s. on top of that, they are both free and work together. been making VBR mp3s for the last few days and they are as close to CD quality as i've ever heard. living with a bunch of music majors, they've all been very impressed with the sound quality and the files are still very resonable in size. i highly recommend these programs. for EAC, go to www.ExactAudioCopy.de and for LAME, check out http://mitiok.cjb.net/

 

Your are exatly right on there. those are some really good programs for the job.

And most reasons for the cd problems, is crappy cds. IT has nothing to do with the burners.
It's a fact, they just dont make cd's like they used to.
They get scratched way too easy now. They have a much thinner protective cover. In order to get good cd's you gotta pay for them. And they are expensive....

 

eh, i'm a college kid, so elchepo is the way to go. besides, most of my stuff is backed up on my pc. so if a $0.20 disk gets scratched, i'll do the toothpaste trick or just burn another. but yeah, cheap disks are exactly that. cheap. but if they work, i'm not complaining

 

I have had nothing but problems with TDK brand CDR's.
I use pretty much anything on sale, which is usually Memorex or Imation.
My JVC KD-SH99 played all of the MP3 cd's that I have burned.
I had an HP 10x CDRW, Nero, and Win XP Pro. I now have a Plextor 8x CDR, Nero and Win XP Pro.
I down graded since I needed a SCSI CDR so I could add another IDE hard drive.
