Need help burning mp3 cds

I have been trying to burn mp3 cds but haven't been successful. I put all of the mp3 files I want on the play list and specify that I want to burn a mp3 cd and it goes through a process of burning a cd. When it is completed I try playing the cd in a player that will read mp3s but it does not work. It shows that it has one track and the time goes as if it is playing but no sound is coming out. I have tried multiple players and multiple mp3 burning programs. I didn't know if I was missing a step or doing something wrong. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

well i may be able to help if u could tell me what program u are using to burn and what player u are using...as always i have to recomend using Nero...

 

I have used the following programs: MP3 CD Writer, MP3 CD Burner 3.01 and Roxio Easy Media Creator 7. I have used Kenwood cd/mp3 player in my car and a Sony dvd player to read the cd. Have I been doing it right at least. Adding the files and then burning? There aren't any other steps right. I will look into the Nero.

 

well im not very familiar with roxio or the others but u cant just make a data cd if thats what u mean... it has to be formated to be read as an mp3 cd. with nero (start smart) you just click audio then MP3 CD...so yeah

 

Use iTunes

I downloaded and installed the trial version of the Nero. Followed the instructions for burning an mp3 cd, burned the cd. When I tried playing the cd it still did not have any sound. Not sure what is wrong. Is it possible it is my burner?

(I have not yet tried the iTunes in the last posting)

 

well im lost then....u might try a different brand of media. otherwise my guss is its ur burner or the actual player

 

Well I really do appreciate your help. I'm looking into getting a new burner. I guess I'll see how that works. Thanks for everything.

 

try just making a normal audio cd (cda), nero will convert ur mp3 files to cda format automatically so you wont have to do that manully. then see if the disc plays on your stereo or whatever your trying to get playback on. if they do playback then you know its not your burner or the media your using its the actaul player that has the problem. if they dont playback then yes its time to invest in a new burner and some high quality cd-rs.

hope this helps...cheerz
