Actually, it doesn't seem as if Mike has a buffer underrun problem; he *can* burn disks at 2x or 4x speeds, and they *can* be read by some of his CD equipment, but not by his living room stereo CD player. So the problem in this case is one of either media that do not come out clear enough when burned at speeds 1x, a player that cannot correctly read CDs that are burned too "loosely", or a burner that does not imprint the digital info onto the media enough when burning at higher speeds. Or a combination of these factors. Since he has already tried using different media, I think a combination of a weak burner and a shabby CD player is the most likely; either the burner doesn't leave enough imprint on the media at high speeds, or the player is bad at reading low-differential CD-Rs, or both. ,xtG .tsooJ -- Joost van de Griek Applications Developer Yacht ICT http://www.yachtgroup.com/ - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you are going to stick with Windows then none of the good ones are free, but both CDRWIN and Nero are excelent products and cost around $50 each.

I thought it was a great software. I burned a lot of Video CD. I thought they are fine. Later on, all the video files it generated are corrupted! and I deleted the source file already. sucks! DirectCD is also another piece of Junk. very unreliable. I think we're really off topic :) sorry folks. IMO, EZ CD Creator is probably the worst CD burning software you can get.

Re: MD: speaker wattage and headphone output
Jim Coon answered my questions, | The sound quality will be the same. After posting I found Aiwa's customer service number and called there. The rep said the same thing as the salesdroid did about quality but couldn't give me any specifics. He did acknowledge the key difference for my situation: that speaker wattage does not affect headphone output. (Of course it doesn't affect TOSlink output either, and he confirmed that the TOSlink output is active only for CD/CDR/CDRW play; the unit has no ADC and does not provide S/PDIF from radio signals or audiocassette play.) | You aren't going to over drive either one. My question was about driving them *enough*, so I take it from your reply that it was a given that it could. | 30 watts per channel will be a 3 db increase in the sound level... Or | just enough for you to hear the you turned it louder. You won't be | operating anywhere near that. You will be in a linear portion of the | output and it will make no difference. OK then, thanks to you and the Aiwa rep I'm keeping the 14 instead of going to the trouble of returning it and then spending $10 more for the 17.

MD: speaker wattage and headphone output
My minisystem, which I rely on for tuner input to MD, bit the dust and needs to be replaced. I'm waffling between two models of Aiwa's NSX-AJ series: the NSX-AJ14 has 15W per channel, while the NSX-AJ17 has 30W but costs more. (Exactly how much more I'm still trying to determine, because there's a rebate on the 14 and I can't find out whether it appplies to the 17.) I bought a 14 but thought of these things on the way home, so it's still sealed in its carton. The deceased system had only 5W per channel, but it was more than loud enough for my bedroom, and I'm far past the age when one wants one's sound system to shake the walls. A salesperson at Circuit City told me that higher wattages improve quality (whatever exactly that means), not just potential volume. But I'd be recording to MD from the headphone jack, not the speaker connec- tions; do wattage differences affect the headphone output? If not, I might as well keep the 14. If so, I can try the 14 to see if its headphone output is loud enough, but what about this "quality" issue?

Are you sure you are using the correct burning method? It sounds to me like you are just copying mp3, wav, whatever to your cd? What is the file format of the tracks you are dragging over to your burner? You need to convert your audio files to *.cda (I think that's what it is) for CD players to be able to read it.

I'm wondering if I definitely = need my computer with another sound card or if I can do it with my = stereo.=20 Unless your stereo has a co-ax output, you can't record digitally with the equipment you have. You need either a CD player, stereo, or computer with CD drive and soundcard, any of which need to have an Optical or Co-axial outpout, and a digital cable to connect your recording MD prtable to the CD. When I record from the 2xRCA connections of my stereo to the analogue IN = of my MD, is it digital or analogue recording?=20 Analogue. Co-ax and Optical connections are both digital (most people on this list would say they both produce identical quality digital recordings, a few will argue one is slightly better than the other but both are good). RCA connections are analogue. I wouldn't write analogue off for recording. It isn't bad sound quality at all. Depending on your sense of hearing (you may have to be an audiophile for this), it sometimes gives you a chance to "tune" the source CD sound to your tastes a little bit (e.g. according to the equipment you use, through CD D/A conversion, interconnects, putting the sound through an equaliser, variable digital filter, or other equipment) - I mention this only because I've heard some people say that an analogue bversion of some tracks sound better/different to them than the digital copy. However that comes at the cost of convenience, and track marks, which for me (especially with dance music) is the key. If so, the only other solution for me (if I don't want to buy a new = stereo) is to buy a digital out soundcard and to record from my = computer, isn't it?

Re: MD: What's the best way for me to record digitally?
=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === when we talk about "digital" or "analog" recording , we talk about the method to transfer the music. Digital--- S/PDIF (coaxial cable) and TosLink (optical) Analog--- analog cable (RCA or mini-jack) Whatever type of cable you use, the music will be digitally recorded on the disc. The only difference is that when you use digital cables, you do not pass through digital/analog then analog digital conversion hence less artifacts. When you record with analog cable, you pass through D/A-A/D conversion. But nowadays, analogue recordings are excellent ( I've made a lot of them cause they have the advantage to allow a second-generation digital copy (or more but in this case you need a scms stripper).
