problems writing audio CDs: please help!!!

[hjkguguy]

hi all

I have a BTC 16x10x40 CD writer and can't get audio CDs to play on any stereos.
I've tried Easy CD creator (5.02), Nero, NTI CD Maker, but can't get any to work.
They record fine and play on my computer CD player, but won't work in any of my stereos

I've also tried recording at all different speeds and lots of different CD brands but it makes no difference.

Maybe i should have my trusty old 16x4x4 sony!

any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance.

Why are all the usernames taken?

When that happens, it means the mp3's are bad, you've burned them in a funky format like mp3's or such that the stereo can't handle.
You have to check if you're burning an audio cd, not burning mp3's to a cd.
What burner is it?

Thanks, but I don't think any of the things you mentioned are the cause of the problem cos I've also tried copying direct from the original CD (using both easy cd creator 5.02 and CloneCD) and have also tried converting the mp3s to wav format before burning them to CD.

I'm definitely creating an audio CD (I've burned hundreds with my old Sony writer and had no probs with them whatsoever regardless if they came from mp3, wav or direct from CD)

My burner is a BTC something or other...just a sec...BTC BCE1610IM (####://www.btcusa.com/product_3.html)

(serves me right for getting a cheap Taiwanese brand???)
