I just burned an MP3 disc with Nero 5.5.10.54 and got an error message on the Pioneer deck:

NO DATA DISK

Any thoughts what might've gone wrong?...and what are you guys/gals using to create them. Thx.

 

just use windows to burn it if you're on windows xp. burn it as a data cd, don't let windows media player try to convert them.

 

I'll give it a shot. It doesn't resample the tracks to a lower bitrate, does it? Thanks, Todd.

 

tbblizzard, do you know if a file that only plays on real player will play in the car??

 

realplayer files will not be read on an mp3 player. it's a different file type... only files with the extension .mp3 will work on your car's player. you can have folders seperating the music also to make it easier for you to find your songs while in your car.

it does not lower the bitrate, whatever the song was ripped at is what it will stay at. so if you got some crap that was ripped at like 22k then good luck listening to it in your car, it'll sound ____ier than on your computer probably. if you got songs ripped at 128k (which is the normal bitrate for cd quality music) then you should be fine.

 

yeah i know about the quality and all but just didit know if it would play that file thanks man for clearing that up

 

Make sure you encode it as an MP3, not a WMA (Windows Media Player), or RA (Real Player) file. There are TONS of programs out there that allow you to rip a CD and convert it to an MP3 format, but unless you have an MP3 codec that you downloaded seperately, Windows Media Player won't do it. I know there are ways to convert a WMA to MP3 but I know of no ways to do it with a RA. As far as bitrate goes, it makes no difference, though much over 192 kbps is a bit much. File size then gets far too big and quality doesn't improve on our stereo's for anything. For typical CD players 128 kbps should suffice. Also, once you burn your disk, check on your computer to make sure it plays on there. If it doesn't, there may be a burning issue with your drive. Hope this helps!

 

Ya, I use Nero and dont have any probs. I just separate them in diff folders and burn it all as a data disc.

 

Just use nero... Burn as data... Drag the folder of mp3's over and click burn....

Very easy

 

I use Roxio 6, It is just about as easy as Nero, but doesn't eat up my memory when I am burning a disc.

Worked like a champ. Interesting that Nero's MP3 discs won't read, but their data discs do. :? Thanks again.

 

I use roxio too. Works like a charm.
