![]() I couldn't find a MUSC brand drive in any of my searches. Sometimes a firmware update is needed when drives won't recognize the presence of an inserted disc, or think the disc is closed when it isn't, but you need to know exactly what drive you have before you can progress. I've been off trying to find what brand/model of DVD drive is used in those two external drives you have. Did the external drives come with driver software, or have drivers available on their manufacturers' sites? I think the problem is between the drives and Windows 10, rather than a problem with CDburnerXP or the Roxio software. However I do know that the Roxio software does much of its disc I/O through the operating system, rather than independent of the OS. The external burners - This is the difficult one because I don't have access to those burners. They have now made a more modern severely cut-down "lite" version called Easy CD & DVD Burning 2, and that's what you have. ![]() A long time ago a severely cut-down 'lite' version of Creator was marketed, called Easy CD & DVD Burning. Version numbers - The latest version of the main Roxio Creator suite is Creator NXT 7 at the moment. If the problem is amplitude clipping, I think you may need to reduce track volume. (It reminds me of that notice in the Hitchhiker's Guide, "It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.' ") I'll bet you can't find your way back here without setting a bookmark, or going back through the Easy CD 4 & 5 forum. Here we are in the Easy CD & DVD Burning forum. I hadn't planned on turning this thing into a science project, after all! Incidentally, I have not yet tried burning a CD to the internal drive with Roxio, nor burning any CDs with my laptop (which does not have a built-in CD but can accept the externals). So I started reducing the volume on tracks and - voila - no more clipping. Why did I somehow end up with Easy CD and DVD Creator 2 if 6 is the latest? Or did I just overlook something?Īny thoughts on the clipping? I used to get clipping probs years ago when I used Nero, and it was apparently (so I was told) due to track volume. Why would these externals have such problems? Any ideas? They're both good little externals and I'd like to continue using them. So clearly both the Cocopa and the MUSC work fine - but seem to have compatibility issues with software - both with Roxio and CDBurnerXP. That worked fine as well, except for, again, the WMP "not recognize" bug. I tried burning to the Cocopa using Windows Media Player. The MUSC seemed to work fine and burned my CD nicely - EXCEPT that is clipping on the last 2-3 tracks, which is unexpected. Roxio insisted the disk was full and it could not burn to it. So, I fired up Roxio and and plugged in the Cocopa drive. I don't particularly care - 2 is fine with me and I'm not excited about doing another download (I don't have high-speed internet and it literally took hours). But according to the software, this is 2, not 6, that I have. So - first bit of weirdness - I downloaded what I assumed was the latest and greatest Easy CD and DVD Creator. CDBurnerXP could see a disk in this drive, but did not think it was blank (kept insisting there was insufficient space).Īfter poking through a CDBurnerXP forum, and attempting a few fixes, I decided it was time to man up and go for a commercial program, and chose Roxio. I assumed the external might be a problem, and bought a second, different brand, a Cocopa. It could not see the disk in the drive and kept telling me to insert a disc. Then I tried the external (a MUSC), with CDBurnerXP. ![]() So, whatever the case, my computer itself does not have a problem burning CDs. The second one I got the "does not recognize" error, so that was a failure. I also tried burning two CDs, using the internal drive, with Windows Media Player. ![]() I tried CDBurnerXP on my new machine, using the internal drive. I read up on and tried a few fixes to no avail, then said _ it and switched to CDBurnerXP, which worked fine for me. ![]() So I decided to get an external to burn CDs as I make a fair amount of them.įor CD-burning, I used to use Windows Media Player which worked just fine for me, until this (apparently well-known) bug in which it stops recognizing certain files for whatever reason. It has a built in CD-drive, which seems to work fine, but the tray seems very flimsy, and it's vertically mounted for some mysterious reason. I recently upgraded from my ancient computer to a brand new Windows 10 machine. Hi all - maybe someone here can provide some insights. ![]()
