What type of discs do you have CDR or CDRW? What version of Windows have you installed?

Here's my problem...<BR /><BR />I can burn data cd's fine. However, when I try to burn an audio cd (either .WAV or .MP3 cd's), it doesn't work. The CD will be burned; however, nothing can read the disk (not my computer, nor my stereo). In fact, when it is in my cd rom drive, my computer doesn't even recognize it is there. I am using RecordNow software (and do not have direct cd). Can anyone please help me?</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>P.S.

I saw all the times you've helped other people, and was praying you would read mine. OK... here goes...<BR /><BR />I am using Windows 98 Second Edition. The discs I have tried are...<BR /><BR />1) Imation CD-R 1x-12x Compatible 700MB/80Min<BR />2) Memorex Black CD-R 1x-16x 700MB/80Min<BR /><BR />I don't know if it is the disc, because I was able to butn a data disc. (That worked fine. However, I do remember reading that HP doesn't support the 80 minute discs).<BR /><BR />I was wondering, do you think it is a software problem? If I purchase Easy CD Creator, would this solve the problem?<BR /><BR />PS. I don't know much about computers. I was reading your replys to others, and I don't understand some of the fixes that you suggested. SO, if you think something would work, you may have to "dumb it down" for me. <BR /><BR />Thanks again!!!<BR /><BR />~M@tt~ Mon, 03 Sep 2001 13:53:07 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/optical-jukeboxes-and-drives/my-cd-writer-8230e-cannot-create-readable-audio-cd-s/m-p/2574010#M2204 Matt_19 2001-09-03T13:53:07Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/optical-jukeboxes-and-drives/my-cd-writer-8230e-cannot-create-readable-audio-cd-s/m-p/2574011#M2205 Gavin,<BR /><BR />I fixed it. It turns out it is a software problem. I got Nero CD Burn, and everything burns fine. Therefore, it is a problem with Record Now.<BR /><BR />Again, thanks for your help.<BR /><BR />~M@tt~ Mon, 03 Sep 2001 16:54:22 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/optical-jukeboxes-and-drives/my-cd-writer-8230e-cannot-create-readable-audio-cd-s/m-p/2574011#M2205 Matt_19 2001-09-03T16:54:22Z
