 CDRW's suck.

I copied a whole load of terrence mckenna interviews on my cdrw and my player is unable to play more than a small part of each track... some tracks wont play more than 10 minutes and some not more than 5, while checking those files on the computer they are around 1 hour long tracks. First time burning cdrw, anybody experienced this problem?

Yes, all the time. And then there's the ones that go bad (I.E. unreadable) after a period of time. I've lost so much pr0n that way. *sigh*

Yeah, I'm definitely going to transfer what I have left on my CDR's to DVDr's cus I've lost a lot of shit also. Plus then I won't have 5 discs when I only need one or whatever.

try burning the disks at a lower speed... that may help as far as the player is concerned. Also try different media, or just get a shitload of HDs like i did

Back in the day i had a old pc the took a shit every time i tryed to read a cdrw. these days i have a server that i store most of my stuff on and if i need to burn it usually is too big for a cd, i love dvd-r and rw. but i always keep a spindle of cdr's handy. i find cdrw's pretty much useless these days

Ok... so this is a comon problem. Hm. Well, what about dvdr's, can you use those to play off music? I asked a store clerk about this and he said they can only be used to play off dvd movies.
I used samsung cdrw/dvd sm-308b
I'll try to burn at a slower speed.

My DVD RW has the ability to store and read just about any kind of data, that's why I got it - to make back-ups of my critical data, not for movies. Check the software package that came with your DVD, look for updates or free downloads from the manufacturer's site - these may be all you need.

To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

for some reason when I put in some cd-rws in my cd-burner, it won't open the files and the eject button doesn't work, I have to use a pin and manually open the cd player. my cd burner doesn't like that, it starts making wierd noises and goes berserk!
