Do you find that you have to waste a lot of blank CD's when copying music or is it just me?

Question

I get a lot of defective blank CD's in my packs & I copy the originals to play & keep the originals sacred since some of them are hard to find & irreplaceable.

Answer 1

I don't know what brand you're buying but I'd return them and complain about it.

Try verbatim or something like that. I always seem to have good luck with those and I tend to be able to hold more on them.

For me I do what you do sometimes but more if I really love the cd so if someone wants to borrow it I just give them the burnt one (my friends have a habit of not returning stuff) or so that if it gets scratched- its not biggie because its only a copy.

Answer 2

Well it depends from the type of media that you have bought. If they are some quality brand, like Maxell, or Sony for example, you shouldn't have had some much defective Cd's. Or maybe your recorder might need to be cleaned up. Hope it's from help!

Answer 3

Me too i bought like a 50 pack and only like 30 cds were actually any good

Answer 4

Slow down the record rate. Don't try and use the fastest rate (like 48k for example) -- slow it down to 16k, or even 8k. Even if the program tells you you can record at 48k, don't do it.

When I slow down, I never get errors or bad disks.

I don't know if I have ever had a bad blank disk out of the package, before -- just plenty of bad recordings from going too fast.

Answer 5

see i think firstly buy a good cd sony, moserbear, i personally buy smaller pack..although big pack are not bad.
secondly... the software u burn it is very essential...use nero, its very good.
then thirdly, burn the cd at a normal speed not very fast. sometimes the computer is not able to buffer properly, so the problem arises.
i think this will definately help u.
