Burn

[SLEDGE]

I've got a fairly new HP and I want to burn some music onto cds for road music.

I'm getting the job done but, they won't play in the car.

So I'm obviously not getting it done.

It usta work.

What the hell am I doing wrong?

I don't even know which questions to ask.

What type of CD are you buying?

CD-R will not play in your car but will with CD player

CD-RW should play in your car

Hope this helps

really not a computer geek

Yep they call it codec and you have to match the hardware and the codec to make it work.

I have a strange feeling that this is one of those things that I will find just as ignert after I figure it out.

I asked my Granddaughter about it.

She says my car's cd player and my computer are not compatible.

We have to find a CODEC (snort, cringe, drool) that works on both.

This is interesting.

My old, slow, outdated dinosour tower painted blue that quit on me, had no problem making cd's that my car would play.

Press 'enter' in the tools application twice, sneer only once, bite your elbow, smack F7 and then wait between 4 and 6 seconds to select code 'A' by pressing zx and spitting twice.

If zx is not available, go to Wal-Mart and buy one.

If the CODEC does not load, please return in 2 hours and 31 minutes to retry.

If the screen goes blank, puke on the left shoe only and reverse your glasses, wait 1 hour and 32 minutes to retry.

How the hell does this BS make my life better?

My 8-Trac player had ONE button to push and volume control in a twist knob.

Sometimes the software will ask if you want to leave the session open after the burn. Say no. The cd needs to be finialized more than likely.
