hi,
im not sure if anyone knows how to do this or if anyone has an answer, but ill carry on anyway.
right, i bought some TDK CD-R's at 48x speed. i want to burn audio files, that is WAV files to CD but don't know what speed to do it on. because last time i burned WAV files to CD's & played it on my Goodmans portable CD player the music was all distorted. And i want to play it on my portable CD player.
Any help on trpes of CD burning software of on what exact speeds i should burn at so the music is played normally.

thanks Amit
P.S. im using Easy CD Creator 6

The speed does not efect the music (maybe it could but not likely), It's just how fast you want it to burn to the CD.
I don't use Easy CD so I can't help with that but have you tried the cd in another player? The computer perhaps?

The speed at which you burn will depend on the media / the cd drive and your computer. Its a good idea to run the tests like data transfer rate at least once to verify everything.

There could be several causes for distorted recordings.

- bad media.
- slow sample rate when recording an existing CD.
- issues during the burn like buffer underflow.
- damaged wave files
- a dirty laser lens.

when recording from an existing music CD,

WAV file: WAV is a file format in which Windows stores sounds as waveforms. Such files have the extension .wav. WAV files can be recorded at different rates. When WAV files are recorded at 44.1 kHz, 16-bits, and stereo, they are essentially identical to the music CDs that you buy.

use the disk at once option to elemenate the added 2 sec pause between tracks

experiment with known good wave files and do a couple burns of the same file at different speeds. my CD burner does a 32X write but i typically use a 12X write speed.

I did a quick google search but wasn't able to find a website to back me up...but I've read "somewhere" that 12x is the recommended max speed for burning audio files to assure good quality sound reproduction...especially on slower CD players. If I can find the site, I'll post back...
