Hi, I've always used CD-R but the CD'S I burnt before where with XP and now I got windows 7. Would a different type of CD make a difference. thanks

Hello. I have windows 7 and I use cd-r....so no, you don't need a different type of cd if that is what you're asking.

No problems at all playing CD-Rs for me and I have tried dozens. If you have problems, it may have to do with the media your using(I use Maxell CD-R Music discs), your burning software(I use CDBurnerXP on Windows 7) or maybe you got a defective player.

Don't know. I have no reason to re--write since I keep them ... and just buy more CDs as I need to. It's my main back up system.

Honestly I've burned only titles/labels to CD's using the supplied software. I stopped using paper labels a few yrs ago due to CDs getting jammed in an automobile CD changer.

Hi! These are in fact different than CD-RW discs. CD-RW discs are meant to be rewritten. Some burners require an audio specific type of disc like these. These are produced by Sony and while they work in a wide range of units and burners I wouldn't be able to say with 100% certainty they will work in every single one out there.Thanks!

I believe it's the write speed that the CD is able to handle. Just to be on the safe side, I always lower the write speed to around 24x and sometimes 16x when burning a disc. That helps minimize errors.

well, that's totally up too you. Your cd burning program of choice gives you options on what formats it will burn. If you burn a cd normally and close the disc out, the program you are using will normally make the cd to be played in anything. Everything accepts CDA format which is what it will burn it to unless you make the change and don't want that. You can burn MP3's on the disc if your car's cd player can play that format as well. the choice is all in your hands young jedi. What I like about mp3's is you can for example, put a hundred song's on one disc as to the usual 15-18 that you would normally get out of the standard cd format. If in need again, don't be a stranger. well, that's totally up too you. Your cd burning program of choice gives you options on what formats it will burn.

that is the speed at which it can burn. Your other CD-R's are limited to only 12x.

One possible problem might be your write speed. Even with a CD drive advertising write speed up to 52x, and discs saying you can write up to 52x, I had failures like this in the past. I never go above 24x anymore and taking it slow have had no failures. There should be a disc write speed setting in whichever software you are using, but it probably resets with each new disc you create.

I've used these on XP and Windows 7, just plugged them in and they worked. No CD came with it.

if you want to burn cdrs in a stand-alone cd recorder, you need to use "music" cdrs, not "data" cdrs. This doesnt refer to the files that you're burning, it's the word that's in the product name (ie Maxell Music cdrs). Both types can be burned in a computer, but only "music" cdrs are used with stand-alones. You can still find them (usually in smaller stacks).

It actually comes with a cd but it didnt work for me because of the windows 7 I have.....so i went to the website and downloaded the driver... It was about 10 mins ...Works great ...had it for a couple months with no issues.

I checked with the manufacturer about the same thing. You must use the computer and then burn the CD from there. No really a bad process though.

Only CD-R music will work for sure. Regular CD-Rs may work, but it's hit or miss. CD-R music discs are made specifically for recording in a machine such as this.

I use Win.7 Pro.with no problems and I also use Cyberlink software to burn and create discs. This drive works well, would not hesitate purchasing again.

all you're doing is wasting your time. burners have been developed and perfected to handle fast burn speeds. ESPECIALLY for something as old as CDs. you're not getting 'better results' or 'better quality' you're just wasting your time and burning the disc significantly slower than you need to

U should always burn the cd first. If u print first with heavy ink, the ink might make the cd spin untrue. These r the very best cd,s out there. And the water shields r excellent. When in a hurry I have printed first with minimal ink and I Had no problem. But it is best to burn first.
