| Do I need a special CD-recorder to burn audio cds with your software? | Yes, you need a CDRW drive or CD recorder before you can use our software. (It needs a special laser found in the CD recorder drives.) |
| I have Win2000 & when I try to start the software it crashes or restarts the computer! | 03/14/03 - There is a fix for this problem. Download the latest version! Otherwise, there is a conflict between Intel Application Accelerator and Win2000 on certain combinations of chipsets such as the Intel 860 & Intel 850. The current workaround is to uninstall Intel Application Accelerator |
| After Upgrading Windows, the software fails to recognize any CD recorders or CDROMs! | After upgrading from Windows 9x to NT40, Windows 2000 or Windows XP or from NT40 to Windows 2000 or Windows XP, the software no longer sees any recorders. Reinstall Acoustica MP3 CD Burner which you can download here. After installing, don't forget to restart the computer. Note that this might happen for minor updates if Windows updates a setting related to CD drives. |
| MP3 CD Burner does not recognize my CD recorder! | There could be several things going on here. First, your CD-recorder may not be supported by our software. Check the supported recorders list. Second, the ASPI layer on your system may not be functioning properly for MP3 CD Burner to recognize it. Check your systems ASPI layer. Third, if you are running WinNT or Win2000, make sure to be logged in as an Administrator! |
| I have a LG Electronics GCE-8400B CD Recorder and it seems to sit in "Finalizing Mode" forever! | 04/07/03 - There is a fix for this problem in version 2.9998 which you can download (Make sure to switch the Rip/Burn engine to Gear) This is a known problem with 2.07 or greater. The good news is that CD is actually finalized and will work, however you have to abort the burn process after a minute of finalizing. You may have to restart the computer to open the CD-recorder. (This affects a few other recorders in addition.) |
| I am having a crash/illegal operation during an import. | In some cases, it appears the hard drive FAT table has been corrupted, in which case we recommend that you try a "Scan Disk" or "Disk Cleanup". Make sure to set it to repair errors. Normally you can find these utilities by clicking the Window's Start button, followed by "Programs", followed by "Accessories", followed by "System Tools", followed by "Scan Disk" or "Disk Cleanup" depending on your version of Windows. |
| How do I copy a music CD exactly? | Acoustica MP3 CD Burner is designed to rip or import select MP3 tracks and burn custom music CDs. However, you can copy music CDs by loading a music CD in a CD drive, clicking the "Rip Tracks" button (or Ctrl+R) and then clicking Ctrl+B to burn the CD. The main problem that might result is that if the source CD is a mix CD or continuous CD where the tracks fade into each other, it will lose that effect when going to the next CD, although if you have it set to fade tracks with a short fade via the "Fader" it will sound close. |
| I cannot see a CD tab to rip from! | We recommend that you upgrade to version 2.998 or higher which uses a new CD Rip/Burn engine and ASPI layer. Download the latest version! Otherwise, you are still using the Goldenhawk engine and is most likely because you do not have an ASPI layer properly installed. Rerun the installer and make sure to select an ASPI layer. If there is more than one ASPI layer, try them one at a time. |
| How can I stop the software from dialing up the Internet automatically? |
When an unknown CD is put a CD drive, Acoustica MP3 CD Burner attempts to look it up on FREEDB.ORG to get the track information. To disable this, click the Preference item from File menu, then select "Remote Database" and uncheck the "Automatically get album info" (If you would like to lookup the CD info, simply click the "Look Up" button on the CD tab. |
| Burning a CD does not finish. What can I do? | One of the most common problems is that the computer can't keep up with the CD recorder. The CD-recorder needs a constant stream of data from the computer. If it is interrupted too long, the burn will fail! Try lowering your recording speed . Make sure to not use any other programs at the same time. Disable your task tray/virus programs! De-fragment your hard drive. Always do a test! You may need to disable Auto Insert Notification (AIN). |
| Recorded CD does not play reliably or at all in a normal CD player! | Make sure you are using a blank CD-R disc. (It is a common mistake to use a blank CD-RW disc.) |
| How many songs can I put on an audio CD? | You are limited to 74 minutes of audio per recorded audio CD. If you have an 80 minute blank CD-R, you can record up to 80 minutes if your CD recorder drive supports it. To burn an 80 minute CD with MP3 CD Burner, make sure that your CD-recorder supports 80 minute audio CDs. Not all CD-recorders support 80 minute CDRs! If you are not sure, consult your CD-recorder's documentation or visit the manufacturer's website for help. By default, the software will automatically sense the capacity of any blank media that you put into your cd recorder, so if you don't want to think about it, just put in a blank cd while you are creating your song list to burn. If you always create 80 minute CDs, you can go into the Preferences from the File menu and select the "CD Burning" item. Then click it. |
| How do I remove 'cdburner.com' from the CD-TEXT title of a burnt disc? | It can't be removed from a previously burnt disc. But here's how you can set the title. The title is derived from what you save your MP3 CD Burner session as. So before you burn, save the CD session by selecting "Save" from the "File" menu. If you save it as "my tunes.cbs" it will then use "my tunes" as the title of your CD. (If the session is not saved, it sets the title to 'www.cdburner.com' . This will be changed in a future version. ) |
| My mix CD does not fade between tracks! | If you've created a mix CD where the tracks fade into each other but its not playing correctly, make sure you don't have the shuffle feature turned on on your audio CD player! |
| I keep getting "Cuesheet was rejected by the CDROM recorder". What do I do? | Specific to the Goldenhawk CD Rip/Burn engine only I keep getting the following error: "Exception: 'START DAO RECORDING' command failed on device 0:1:0 Cuesheet was rejected by the CDROM recorder [subcode=-312]" . What do I do? This may be because you are burning too much audio to the CD. This would cause the "Cuesheet" to be rejected and causing the burn to fail. The reason why you cannot burn the full amount is because along with burning the actual songs to a CD, the "Table of Contents" (which allows stereos to read the CD) and "CD Text" (if selected) has to be burnt as well. These things take up space so we recommend to leave at least 30 seconds but to be on the safe side at least 1 minute of free space for these things to be burnt onto a CD. So in short, don't aim for 74 minutes (or 80 minutes), aim for 1 minute less!! |
| When I search for songs it always comes up with no matches. Is there anything that can be done? | It seems as though you are misunderstanding the "Search" feature of the software. It does not search the internet for music, it *only* searches your computer's hard drive(s). The main reason being the copyright issues of downloading music. |
| Out of hard disk space? Here's how to free up space. | Start "Disk Cleanup" by clicking Start, pointing to Programs, pointing to Accessories, pointing to System Tools, and then clicking Disk Cleanup. If you don't have "Disk Cleanup", you may need to add it via the Add/Remove Control panel in your "Settings". You may also need to manually drag some files to the "Recycle Bin". Don't forget to right click on the Recycle Bin and select "Empty Recycle Bin" Finally, you may be able to uninstall programs you don't use often, especially games, which are notorious for taking up a lot of space. |
| What are all these temp .isk and .ipk files and how do I change my temp directory? | A future version will allow you to change your temp directory! For now, you have to go into the registry and change HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ Software/ Acoustica/ CDBurner/ Acoustica_Temp_Dir to whatever directory you want to be your temp directory. (Note that you should not be running Acoustica MP3 CD Burner at the same time.) The .ipk are peak temp files which store normalization, trimming and visual data for each sound. The .isk allow us to accurately seek for .MP3 files, especially useful for VBR MP3 files. WARNING: Editing your registry should be done with care. Acoustica cannot be held responsible for any damage to your computer. We provide this information to help those who need to change their temporary directory and are technically skilled enough to do it. |
