Burning Music Cds

Does anyone still use Roxio software? It used to be called Easy CD Creator. Now it’s Media Suite or something. I’ve made thousands of CD-ROMs, mp3 discs, CDs and DVDs with it. It will make whatever kind of disc you wish, just by clicking the appropriate tab.

It will convert formats on the fly, even sampling rates, and one-track sound files to two tracks for the CD standard. It does mixed-mode CDs (such as an audio CD with video bonus tracks, same as the commercial CDs you buy at the store). The new version includes a DVD video editing suite, which is sort of unnecessary bloatware, but it works. It has buffer underrun protection so you’ll never burn a coaster. It couldn’t be any easier to use!

I recommend it to everyone, but often I hear that no one’s ever heard of it. So I recommend it to you, in case you’d like something that’s really simple to operate and useful for creating discs of any type.

Shit, Sony has just developed a media format that didn’t crash and burn. The very fabric of the Universe is unravelling.

I’ve been using Nero for years to do all of my CD/DVD projects.

BTW, it was my understanding that CDA is just a pointer to the 44.1khz/16bit stereo .wav audio files on a CD. I could be wrong.

Gee, with BlueRay, would could record play all our music in 196khz/32bit 7.1 surround and still have space to spare…maybe. :slight_smile:

Possible that the first part is right, but I know the tracks on an audio CD aren’t .wavs because they have to be converted to .wav or .mp3 when you copy/rip them.

Wiki has the answers:

.cda article

audio file article

and finally,

PCM article

In addition to what has been posted already, to maximize the chances of a CDR being playable burn the disc using “disc-at-once” rather than multi-session. If you have some multi-session music CDs that are causing problems, try going into a program like Nero or EasyCD and “finalize” the disc. (Terminology varies.)
