Last Wednesday 08 December 2004 22:07, Reuben Martin was like:
I'm trying to burn some audio CD's and I
always run into the problem that
there are some CD players that just don't want to play the CDs that come
out of my burner. I'm burning them in raw on a Plextor drive, so it
_shouldn't_ be having problems. Apparently the CD's are not strictly
compliant with Red Book specs though. (from the documentation CDrecord uses
CD-DA rather than Red Book, I'm not quite sure what the differences are)
This is quite annoying when I give people a CD and it turns out their
palyer can't handle it. (Once there was even a CD-ROM drive that wouldn't
play it!) Does anybody know of any solutions for this?
Thanks for asking this. I have exactly the same problems and it's really
getting me down. I'm using a cheapo CD burner, so I suspect firmware
problems.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I just got a new spindle of CDs -
'silver' Philips ones. dunno if they'll be any different from the sony
pthalocyanine ones. Probably not. We shall see. The 'blue' 'green' and
'gold'
use different inks AFAIU.
