copying CD's that will play back on a CD player

[frankplue@hotmail.com]

Hi Guys - You helped me once before - perhaps you can again. Until recently I was copying my music CD's with no problem and even printing labels so I could have second copies at the cottage. Suddenly when I try and copy a music CD I find that it will play on my computer but it will not play on my discman. I thought that it might be have something to do with finalizing the disc. I've tried that but find the directions confusing. Do I finalize before I burn? The directions seem to imply that. Thanks in advance for your time!

Well, it would help if we had a bit more information. Remember, Easy Media Creator is a suite of programs. Without really trying, I can think of about 4 or 5 applications you could use to copy a CD in EMC 8. And I can easily come up with probably 2 variations using each program.

 

So, where are you starting from, the EMC "Home" application? Or are you using Music Disc Creator? Or Disc Copier? Or RecordNow copier?

 

Let us know which program you're starting with, and then give us a click-by-click description of what options you're selecting to copy your CD, and then we should be able to come back with a good idea of what might be going wrong.
