Burned CD--No Sound At All

Benesesso

Burned my first audio CD using the free version. All went well, finalized the disk (₈₅^ full). On playback several different players show that its playing, but no sound at all.

All 16 songs were stored as .cda files, just like the originals. Ripped the defective CD and stored the songs as .ape files. Still no sound.

What is going on here?

Hi,

When you say "stored as .cda files", are you saying that the files on your computer before you burned them, were .cda files? as .cda files can only work properly when stored on a cd. When ripping the files off a cd and storing them on your computer, you cannot copy and paste the files, you will need to use Express Rip to rip the .cda files to .mp3 then you can burn audio cd's from the .mp3 files. Express burn will burn the mp3's onto the audio disk as .cda files as it burns.

Thankyou

Very belated thanks to you! I did try Express Rip, along with a LOT of other software. Finally realized I needed to rip the CD's as .wav files. I have another burning program (Freeware, not Express Burn) that I've been using, but it doesn't allow much control at all over the burning process.

Now I want to try Express Burn again before I buy it, but cannot get it to reinstall after I uninstalled it. (Please see my other post on this).

Hi,

Yeah I think i just replied to your other post.

Use express rip to rip the cd into mp3 files. (you can use wav but the file size will be much bigger)

Then drag n drop the mp3's (or wavs) into Express Burn. MAKE SURE YOU CLICK AUDIO CD FIRST.

Then burn a cd and burn will convert the mp3's, or wavs, to cd audio files before it burns them.

Thankyou
