Burned my first CD
« on: December 03, 2002, 10:00:53 AM »
Welcome to the 21st century Rip :rolleyes:
I went with WinMX to get my feet wet. Running 56k modem sucks but the local phone company said DSL will be available *finally* in the spring of 2003. Been waiting 5 years out here for it.

Anyway, I went with a Christmas/Big Band Era CD since my grandfather was a drummer for several local "Big Bands" in Minnesota for some 40 years...and his wife (my granny) is coming to visit at X-mas...

Andrew Sisters
Bing Crosby
Glenn Miller
Nat King Cole

The quality was better than expected. Listened to it this morning enroute to work.  

Thanks all for your advice in a previous thread.

Rip, did you get an internal burner and pop it in yourself?  I am pretty sure that I am getting one for the Holidays and wondered if it was a pain in the bellybutton to install at all.

Do you have a second CD-ROM or DVD drive?  Did you have to set up one as master?

My new system (built for me) has a CDRW and a DVD Mickey...Roxio software lets me create the CD's.  You just point to the directory where ya saved them, and add them to the Roxio list, then hit the "Burn" button.  Simple.  Even a redneck like me figgored it out.

Yep... you burn a data CD rather than an audio one. Leave them as MP3 rather than convert to the CDA (?) format that standard CD players require.

Be careful with players that say they can play CDRW. That doesn't necessarily mean that they can play MP3.

Its easy to install a CD-RW. I bought a TEAC CD-RW back in the spring and had it running on the same IDE channel as my Pioneer slot load that died a few months later. So now I only have one CD drive (my CD-RW). I also let it run as cable select and forced it as the slave to my CD drive. Supposedly you should not have them on the same IDE channel but I don't have a choice.

I take it you have original copies of this music somewhere in the house as you wouldn't want to break any copyright laws would you? :)

You are in for another life when you get broadband ...

I'm almost tempted to ask how many people here believe in ripsnort's evolution :D Welcome to the digital age, Rip. Now strap on an eye patch and join the bucanneering hoardes ... Ah-harr Jim Lad! ;)

I'm one of those guys that don't have to have the latest and greatest in technology, I usually wait til prices drop down to a respectible level and let you fools pay too much for them, however I waited waaaaaay to long on the CDRW and the DVD player, I'll admit it!

I have a Pacific Digital CD-RW, it HAS to be set to Master drive with the jumpers, and the secondary CD-ROM I have (cheap $20 50x) HAS to be set to slave drive. Run them on my secondary IDE chain.

Cable select did funny things to it, kept rebooting the computer or popping out the drive door..
