Ahem... Posted by Steve (from: 213.48.120.242) on August 30, 2000 at 19:25:05: In Reply to: The whole process of creating a cd posted by Debbie Livingstone on August 30, 2000 at 09:23:35: I'm not really qualified to answer this one as I use a Macintosh and it's a bit different. I'll explain what I do incase it helps in any way. I use a Yamaha 4416 CDRW on a SCSI card connected to the Mac. I use Adaptec Jam audio CD burning software which has the yamaha listed in it's compatible drive list, important. The software will allow you to drag the files whether .WAV's .AIF's or .MP3's into a window and you press proceed and it burns it as a playable audio CD. Not all packages allow burning straight from an MP3 though, you'll have to check the package you are using to see if it can otherwise you may have to convert them to .WAV's which is easy. If I put a unburnt CD into the drive before booting the software then the drive will not recognise it's there, it's a point worth noting. If the computer knows that there is no CD in the drive then at least it's probably recognising the drive is there. I suspect you need to check that the software that you are using to burn CD's knows what a 'Dell Latitude' is. Also, don't put the CD for burning in the drive until it asks for it, leave the draw open with the CD ready. In in the interest of the company that makes the software for burning to be compatible with as many drives as possible so you may find there is an update to the burning program your using that may include the Dell drive, it's worth a check on the Dell site in the support/download area for free updates. That's all I can think of at this late hour, yawn...! Steve...
