Re: Burnt Cd not Working With Win 98 SE Posted by Macintorch (from: 216.192.133.1) on July 01, 2002 at 06:36:02: In Reply to: Burnt Cd not Working With Win 98 SE posted by dave on June 30, 2002 at 18:50:49: For your PC at home, you should download Exact Audio Copy. It is a freeware CD Ripper/Burner/Testing program that can be configured with lots of details and tricks to get your drive working better. I can almost guarantee you that this program will help solve your problems. It will take a bundle of patience, but you should try it out since it offers so many tools, particularly for dealing with read/write errors. However, you should also compare the SPECIFICATIONS of the two CD drives. If the drive at work is like a 64x drive and the one at home is like a 2x drive, then you have no business complaining. The drive at work is merely BETTER. Still, if it's really bothering you, you should learn everything you can about the work computer's configuration and try to duplicate it on yours at home. Some settings such as buffers and synchronization can be changed. And, if buffers ARE an issue, then anything that uses RAM will also be an issue. By the way, if one of the drives is a USB drive, that's likely to make a huge difference in the way it works. USB is generally terrible for audio, but some USB drives compensate by having HUGE built-in hardware RAM buffers. Well, that's an awful lot of chit chat about CD drives. it's really a lot of different factors, though. In the meantime, I'd duplicate your CD while you're at work and burn a new CD there (at 4x speed max) and take it home. DO NOT BURN CD's AT HIGH SPEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Listen and learn. bye.
