jabba|xtra · **cd burning app -** July 14th, 2002, 04:05 PM

Anyone know of a free audio cd burning app? I mean completely free no trial crap or limitations on use unless you pay.

DrEaMs In DiGiTaL · July 14th, 2002, 05:09 PM

you can use windows media player to burn a cd

Rickio · **EAC -** July 14th, 2002, 07:25 PM

EAC is freeware and besides audio cd burning it is regarded as the best cd ripper.

Also saw a freeware app, called mp3doctor at http://mp3surgeon.com. It was being given free for awhile.

jabba|xtra · **mp3? -** July 14th, 2002, 09:39 PM

I like EAC, but i cant get it to burn my mp3s on to a cd. it only accepts wav files, even thought it says it can use mp3s. it says that my mp3s are not accepted as an audio source. is there a way to make it burn mp3s? or do i just have a setting messed up.

Rickio · **eac burns mp3 to cd -** July 15th, 2002, 03:32 AM

eac burns mp3 to cd, you might want to check and look in it's directory and see if the lame.dll is their. If not you need to get it. Actually EAC come complete with all dll's so you might want to download and re-install.
And yes check the configuration. Make sure it is configured to burn mp3 on the fly.

oh yeah cool website

has anyone tried The new NeroMix?

My vote is for EAC. Its a kick ass program.

jabba|xtra · **still not working -** July 15th, 2002, 01:02 PM

I redownloaded and reinstalled EAC. It did not come with any of the dll's. I got the dll for lame (lame_enc.dll) and a few other encoders. It still will not burn my mp3s. i drag and drop them into the write window and it gives the the same message as before. What am i doing wrong?

have you ever burned a cd with any other application? I ask because there is another set of files you might not have installed in your computer. They are called aspi layer.
there is a small appication called aspi check that can tell you the status of your aspi configuration, it is downloadable from adaptec and is free.

Do a search for aspi and try and locate it. Run it and see if you need to install a aspi layer. There are upgrade for aspi at adaptec also.

If you need more help come back and ask and I will go get the info for you,

Yes i have burned many cds with other apps(roxio, musicmatch, etc.) without any problems.

I went over to adaptec and downloaded the latest aspi for xp here

i followed the instructions and then ran the included aspi check it says i am missing wowpost.exe and winaspi.dll, but i do have aspi32.sys and winaspi32.dll. so guess you dont need the first 2 for xp?

I dont think the problem is with aspi though. EAC has no problem reading cds and ripping. it just wont let me drag and drop mp3s into the write window. wavs work fine though

jabba|xtra · July 15th, 2002, 05:32 PM

ok messed around with the installer for aspi a little more. i used the win 2000 method for install and that worked fine and installed all files. So i try to start up cdex and now that doesnt work because it cant find the wnaspi32.dll even though it is there. adaptecs aspi ver. is 4.71.

I went here and got an older ver of wnaspi32.dll from nero. cdex works again and i am sure that i have aspi installed completely so there should be no problems with that now.

Have you checked the EAC site to see if it supports winXP?
I am not sure if I ever noted if it even works with XP.

But I do remember reading that lot's of people running XP had trouble with the newest version of aspi, so they used the previous version. I am not sure of the version number offhand but it had a 6 in it not a 7.

Rickio · July 15th, 2002, 06:57 PM

check this site out

http://aspi.radified.com/

http://web2.iadfw.net/jlundy/riptrax.htm

I hope this will help you.

Rickio · **oops typing to fast -** July 15th, 2002, 07:01 PM

You menioned you are running win2000?
I giave you a wrong link.

here is aspi layer previous version for win2000

http://web2.iadfw.net/jlundy/zip/CompelWinAspi460.zip

I use personally use aspi 4.60 because of reading all the bug reports with the newest version. I hear the new version works good for some and then again, not for others. It's just try and learn and see what happens sometimes.

jabba|xtra · July 15th, 2002, 07:13 PM

Thanks for the link to 4.6. ill try that out. I also went to EAC and posted on their forum to see if i could get help over there.

jabba|xtra · July 16th, 2002, 12:57 PM

4.6 works fine with everything, but EAC still wont burn mp3s.
