CD-RW

[Reist]

How do you burn files onto these??? I am so sick of trying, and it keeps telling me that the cd is corrupt. I need it to put a song on my standalone, and the files have to be WAVs. Does anyone have advice?

JR -

Make sure your CD writer drive is rated to burn CD-RWs - some drives are only capable of burning CD-Rs, not CD-RWs. It's a whole different chemical / mechanical process to burn a RW disk, although almost all newer drives can handle them.

That said, I have run into a number of writers that, even though they're rated to handle RW blanks, are very picky about brands, lengths, etc. Again, older drives are particularly susceptible.

With all that in mind, the process should be exactly the same as burning to a CD-R. However, if you've tried burning to this disk already, you might need to do an "ERASE" to clear the disk before you can rewrite to it.

Hope something there helps...
