    I've had few problems with nero Vision,

    but file folders don't open when trying to go to
    a .wav file.


    Is a guide needed for something that simple.

    The add panel shows the directory needed but that
    folder/directory doesn't open to add a single track.

    The whole folder will add everything and the program does
    that but of course that is no help.

    How do a get decent directory tree of files in this.

    Procedure I've done is

    Nero > cd > make audio cd


    From there I go 'add' and the search box opens
    but only goes as far as folders.

    Nero Vision is meant for videos, not audio. If you're going to be buring audio, make sure you use Nero Express and choose music and then audio cd. Not sure about the version of Nero you're using so it might be different on your end.

    Everything is being done in Nero Express, not Nero Vision.



    I have discovered one way around the problem but this
    only means I'm doing something wrong.

    At the 'add screen' to make an audio cd three folders are
    in blue:

    Desktop
    My Documents
    My music

    These can be opened to display files.

    How do I add my regular folder to the blue group
    since that is the only way Nero will apparently open it?

    As a workaround, I dragged my one file to burn to
    the desktop (blue highlight on the add screen)
    clicked on desktop folder in the add screen and it opened.

    If the folder contents of c: are clicked on, that
    folder will appear and in _black_ and does nothing.


    I tried to drag the whole directory to the blue area
    but that failed.


    So what's the answer? Are the 3 folders marked in blue

    Desktop, My Documents etc all that can be accessed
    on the add screen?


    Like I said, I must be doing something wrong. I just
    don't know what it is.

    I just wanted to make sure you were using the right program because when you posted the first time, you said you were using Nero Vision but when I read the steps you did in the first post, it sounded more like you did it in Nero Express. So my bad.

    I am curious though, what version of Nero Express are you using?

    From the factory disc it's 6.3.1.2b

    I think I did the online upgrade to 6.6.1.4

    Is there some fallback version that everyone is happy with?

    If there are 3 highlighted folders/directories in
    blue, how can I add more folders/directories to
    that group?


    I'm used to using B's Recorder Gold from my Sony
    CDROM for audio. That is drag and drop. That prog.
    only works with the Sony though.


    I see now where my syntax was confusing. Nero is bloatware.
    I'd like to find something less confusing in the freeware
    market. But the cd functions of Nero should at least work.

    I haven't used Nero 6 in ages and couldn't remember what it exactly looked like so I went ahead and install it to see what you were talking about.

    The group you see highlighted in blue, act as a placeholders (links) for certain parts of the computer and cannot be modify. What you need to do is remember where you stored the wave files. When you have that in mind, go to where it says location on the top. Click the drop down box and go to the folder where you have the wave files stored. When you got the folder selected, you should see the wave files appear on the right side of the window. Select all of the wave files and click add. It will then analyze the files and add it to the main Nero Express window. When that's done click finish. That will return you to the main Nero Express window. Click next and setup your burner. You're now set to go.

    Hope that helped.

    I forgot to mention another method.

    If you don't feel like doing it that way you can always do a drag and drop. To do that, open the the folder where you have all your waves file stored and set it to the side of the screen so you can still see it. Open Nero Express and set it up to do audio CD of course. When you come to the next page, click the add box. When another window opens up, go to the folder you had set aside and select all the wave files; drag those files to the right side (not the left side because that's just a placeholder) of the window that Nero Express opened. Make sure you select all the wave files by highlighting them, click add. Let it go through the analyze process and click finish. The rest you can figure out.

    [bold]I think I did the online upgrade to 6.6.1.4 [/bold]

    I have read in several threads that this version is the one that is buggy, heres an extract from another thread.

    I hope it works for you.

    I'm going to check out this replacement version.


    Repeating the problem: when I find the folder with
    the stuff in it, it won't open. If I simply
    select the whole folder it tries to write everything
    to a file and then shows that it's too big to fit on a disk.
