EZ CD 5 Platinum is burning MP3's as 44-byte chit

[Helpless]

I installed a new burner in my parents computer...gave them all the software they would need...everything seems to be working okay, except when they try to burn a disk of MP3's converted to .cda's (using EZ CD 5.0 Music Project), it burns each track as 44 bytes The disk appears to be full, or at least it shows that 700M was burned, but 15 tracks @ 44 bytes per file doesn;t equal 700M


Any ideas what is wrong? It will burn MP3's as MP3's just fine, but not converting the MP3's to CDA properly...checked the settings and I have given up...any ideas?

have you tried a different program?

Have you tried listening to it in a CD player yet? I am not the expert on this but I think that is the way it's supposed to do it.

...has to be a setting in EZ CD 5 or directCD or something...I think it has something to do with the way it finalizes the CD, but I am not sure..


Yea, we tried them in a CD-Player and won't even play from the drive in the computer...each track records as a 44 byte file, yet the CD has just about 700M worth of noise on it...strange

I use this software to make audio CD's which I play in the car mainly - works perfectly each and every time.

Not sure if this will help you or not but I think there might have been an update patch even for EZCD 5.

I have no problems with this software other than noticing that the built in "player" sometimes misreports the file sizes - this has no effect on the finished CD audio tracks or while playing the source mp3's

Yea, works fine on my system each and every time, too...tried re-installing it on theirs but to no avail...I'll just install something else, I guess

OK, so it (software) works fine on different systems.

Have you tried changing the Master/Slave configurations for your drives yet?

There is a freeware program for making audio CD's that I have also used - I'll find out the name when I get home tonight.
