Woohoo!! Problem solved. Kudos to AM.

I received a new download of AudioCDBurner today from Abyssmedia. It works fine now. Great support!

KC & Dad,

I just posted a request for Easy CD-DA Extractor.
Seems that it may help each of you.
Check the link in the post for more info.

I found trouble also. This will only burn files ripped from other CD's. Would not convert my large catalog of MP3's. When I uninstalled the program, the developer had a screen to ask why you didn't want it, so I told them. They were nice enough to respond by email and confirm that the program only burns files of a certain format. My thumbs up is now a big thumbs down.

Hmmmm, can't sleep.

'When U Save' sure package their adware differently in 2007. If I uninstall it the audio program will not run. So I blocked it from internet access,..same result. Removed the registry entries,..same thing again. Profiling, activity tracing adware rattles my mojo, so SoftwareDepo can keep their freebies.

Apologies for suggesting that anyone try their CD Ripper.

!!! WARNING - ADWARE !!!
------------------------

Bahhhh! Don't install software from this site (the link). http://www.download3000.com/download-count-home-13194.html

I just tried a program and it comes bundled with 'WHEN U SAVE' Adware.

I should have known...Grrrrr!

I'll look into it tomorrow.

rspdad,

I hate computers. Other members may give you better info., but that exception looks like the program does not recognize your optical drive, so it can not set an auto burn speed. Therefore it throws out a failure message.

First, check this link to see if your cd burner is compatible with the software. http://www.abyssmedia.com/cdburner/drives.shtml

If you don't see it there, post the exception and your cd type/model on the Abysmedia forum.

Meantime, try the freeware burner above (I returned to edit the link into my post as you were posting, so you may have missed it) - You may even prefer it to the GAOTD download.

Good luck.

Now me sleeps...zzzz zzzzzz zzzzzz "Thank God for Nero and Cyberlink" zzzz zzzzzz zzzzz....

The program lacks a manual cd burn test speed. I also got the following message each time I opened the program:
["StartBurner_GrabberSetSpeeds() failed, exception 8, status 0, text "StartBurn ScsiTransportSPT1:Executed CDB:Command failed:"]

Here's a review from Brothersoft.com for the freeware link in my post above.

Use Advanced Audio CD Burner to burn custom high-quality CDs from your favorite MP3s and play them back in your car or home stereo or portable CD player! It is fairly simple to use and just a couple of clicks will get you burning.This is the best CD Burner software that I have ever used and I would highly recommend it to anyone. it's incredibly simple yet it does everything you need in order to burn audio or data cd's. you can listen your favoriate MP3 or WAV songs on regular stereo, car CD players, and so on. Advanced Audio CD Burnerhelp you to Burn is a program for Windows that lets you create and record audio or data CDs with any Windows PC with an installed CD recorder.

I didn't download this program, but it sounds like they are asking about burn speed. Burning software needs to know at what speed tracks can be recorded to a cd or dvd. Does the program have a manual cd burn speed test? If so, you may need to run a test, initially, prior to dragging files to the window for burning.

If that does not fix the problem, try their forum. It may prompt them to solve your query faster (publicly) than via e-mail (privately).

If all else fails, try this free burner.

Am still having problems with Audio CD Burner when I drag a track to the appropriate window:

"Acces violationat adress 004F5694 in module 'Audiocdburner.exe'. Read of address 00000000."

I sent an earlier email and got this reply:

Did you get any error messages before? on startup? Its looks like engine not initialized because
Recording Speed list is empty.

I don’t know what this means, but I am able to burn CDs with other programs with no problem. I tried to register this product, but since in was a download from giveawayofthe day, I hadn’t a serial number to enter into the registration form. Is failure to register a root cause of the problem? What else will fix the problem?

I am still stuc. Can you help?
