Either list them when you send the discs (one copy of the list will do as I can photocopy it for the others) or send me the list in some electronic format (.doc, .rtf, .odt or something my computer can read) and I'll print it out. If you (or anyone else, for that matter) would prefer to send me a list in elctronic format, let me know and I'll send you a PM with my email address.

Posted my CDs to you today DT

Well i finally got down to my 20 but for some reason though itunes its burnt and finalised the disc I cant get it to play any ideas folks. The run time is just under the 120 minutes.

Hi Tiz - with that length of recording I'm assuming you've burnt them as MP3 files? Are you then playing teh CD back in a non-MP3 CD player perhaps?

Yours clutching-at-straws,
Trousers

Reminder oneself: get one's arse in gear and get one's CDs recorded and sent ASAP!

Yes the car cd player. So that is thew answer. I was burning from itunes so how will folk be able to play the cds I burn from there or is there a better way to burn them.

Hmm just checked the car cd player and it says mp3 compatable

Now when i try to burn a disc it fails for unknown reason. I have now wasted 4 cds hmmmmm hehehe.

I don't know anything about iTunes. I burn my CDs using Ashampoo Burning Studio 10. You can download a free trial version from Ashampoo that will give you full and unrestricted use for 30 days. Whatever you do, do not buy this for the quoted price of £29.99, even if you like it - Ashampoo will offer you a discount at the end of your trial period and if you don't take that, they'll keep pestering you and will eventually offer it for less than a tenner. Like most other such software, Burning Studio 10 will rip your audio CDs to mp3 format and record an mp3 disc if you wish.

Oh, and by the way, Tiz, you can have up to 25 tracks!

DT

P.S. If the worst comes to the worst, bung your tracks on a memory stick and send them to me and I'll burn your CDs for you, returning your memory stick when I send out everyone else's CDs to you. That, of course, may not be possible if they're all on iTunes, something I've always strenuously avoided due to a hearty dislike of the late Mr Jobs and his empire.

I don't use iTunes and maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I know iTunes tracks are in another format than mp3.
Maybe thats your problem Tiz.

I don't know if this is any help, Tiz-

I did mine in itunes and did them as normal audio files

Yes you get the option audio cd or mp3 everything looks like it has worked etc and when you load it into a player it shows 20 tracks but when you press play nothing happens

I've with Davey T on the itunes front. Try burning one with with something else, even windows media player.

must admit I didn't check my CDs played that I sent as they seemed to copy fine.......Mr DT can you check one please......thanks

Davey, Anthems of an Ulsterman are winging their way to you.

Anthems from Ulster (I do like that title!) and the Celty Collection have arrived safely. At least, I think the latter are Celty's as there's no return address - please PM with that as otherwise I won't be able to send the CDs off to you once they've all arrived. And as requested, Celty, I'm just testing yours now and it's playing fine on the computer (I haven't tried it on an actual CD player yet). Having heard the first track I want to play it all, but I somehow feel that that would be cheating!

Banks Bunch on its way as of this morning... 2nd Class. I reckon the CDs should reach you in time, considering you only live 50 miles down the road! I have some absolute belters that couldn't be included - some better than those I've actually sent.
I'll just say now that they aren't all out and out rockers! In fact, I don't think any are! There's always next year...

I've just seen Tiz's post - 120 minutes duration! If I'd known that was possible, my CDs would be a heck of a lot better. I could always send another package to you DT!

With MP3, you could probably get more than 100 tracks on a CD! Anyway, your package arrrived today, and all seems to be well - I've given one of your CDs a quick spin on both my computer and a DVD player (my CD player is so ancient it won't play recordable dics) and it works!

So that leaves Matthias (and I know his discs are on the way), Linda, Trousers, and Tiz. Have you resolved your technical problems yet, Tiz?

DT

That was quick! I'll be experimenting with mp3 CDs today...

I am experiencing a bit of a problem with mine just now..... I made a disc, which wouldn't play anywhere other than on my computer....then I lost the disc and couldn't find the folder I had made up with the tracks on it..... Now I have found the folder but it won't let me copy onto a disc!!!!!

I am almost pulling my hair out.....

Right the consensus of opinion is that my drive is knackered, unsure as it works on other stuff. Dave can I send a usb stick and some cds or can I slip in some money to pay for the cds. let me know and I will make sure it hits the first post tomorrow ie the 30/11/2011

Tiz, pop the usb stick in the post and I'll see what I can do with it. I've just bought a quantity (considerably more than I need) of CD-Rs for about 13p each, so I wouldn't bother sending any CDs - you can either buy me a pint when I next see you or put an additional £1 coin in with the USB stick (don't forget I need either 2 first class stamps or £1 towards postage). And don't forget a track listing!
