tizzylizzy Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi. I am attempting to make a CD for the car with all my fave tracks on. I am using Windows Media Player. So far I have only managed to transfer one track. All that happens now when I click on 'Start burn' is that the blank CD with the one track on keeps ejecting and a message comes up 'please insert disc into drive and once detected it will automatically start to burn'. However when I push it back in it either starts to play the one track I have managed to transfer or ejects the CD again. What am I doing wrong? Many Thanks.

baypond Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Car CD players are often limited in the various types of format they are able to replay. Try the CD on another system(s) in your home, if it works there then your CD may have been recorded on your computer in a format that is not compatible to the car CD.

David Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I think baypond that the op is still trying to record the cd, and that it has not yet reached the car?David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Sounds like you've burnt just that one track to the CD, WMP has then finalised the CD which means that you cannot burn anything more to it. That's why it's asking for a new CD.What with DRM and other nonsense I've never used WMP for burning so can't really help you futher.I'd download another burning programme such as THIS for instance and use that. It's tiny, dead simple, and FREE, my kind of software [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzylizzy Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Yes Ernie you're right I haven't tried the CD in the car yet as I've only managed to record one track. WMP doesn't recognise the disc anymore so perhaps it had been finalised as you suggest. I will try downloading the other software you recommend and have another go. Thanks for your help everyone.

AnOther Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Good luck.Baypond has touched on an important point. Not all in car units support home burnt CD's so I'd try the one you have with the one track first. If you're really lucky and it supports MP3 then you could rip your CD's down to that format which would mean you'd get up to 10x as many tracks on a single CD.Do you know which make and model it is ?

tizzylizzy Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 If it doesn't play in the car I can still use the CD in the house. If I ever record one that is. I have tried to download that software you recommended but a message came up 'woobrowser.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close' I have been getting this message a lot recently and it always closes me down. Is nothing ever simple! [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Woobrowser is some funny software you get from Orange isn't it? Seems like an awful lot of people have been having the same problem as you. I think I would just uninstall it and use Firefox instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzylizzy Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I don't know what woobrowser is or does. However I can't have Orange and Google open at the same time without that message coming up. It's been like that for a couple of months and I don't understand what is causing it.

ViVienne Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I use media player to copy all my cd's for the car, you have to make sure you drag ALL of the tracks you want to burn onto the burn list before you burn the cd, after it has finalised you can't burn any more onto it.

Is nothing ever simple! [8-)][/quote]Woobrowser.exe is the background software that runs the orange connection software. It has its own altered Internet Explorer browser, and sometimes conflicts with the original browser installed on some machines. You can try to re-install Internet Explorer, or I used SeaMonkey to browse instead, there are others such as Opera, Mozilla, Firefox to name a few.Good luck with your adventures into burning CDs, it does get simpler with time, and experience.

David Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I am not a computer expert, but may I ask if you installed the Orange connection using the CD supplied with the livebox?If so this can cause problems with Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. I did this once, and had no end of trouble.All my problems went away after I uninstalled Orange and then reconnected to the livebox using the windows connection wizard. There have been several threads on this forum saying never to put the orange disc anywhere near your computer.For me as a computer illiterate it was easier to uninstall orange, and reconnect using windows, rather than try to mess about with Internet Explorer or Outlook Express.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzylizzy Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 I've not got livebox David, just a normal modem. I've heard such horror stories from people with a livebox I think I'll stick to what I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splishsplash Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 HiI have an Orange livebox & am running vista. I never use Internet Explorer any more, I use Mozilla Firefox, google mail, google search engine. I had the same problems burning discs, so I downloaded this & have never had a problem since.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
