I burned a cd, but I've been having a very weird problem with it. Everytime I play it in my discman, it gets stuck at 2 min 39 sec, however, when I use any ordinary sound system, it plays perfectly fine. I thought the discman was damaged, but it plays all my other CD's... does someone know what may be happening? Why does my discman hate only this disc?

Thanks in advance

PS.: I did use the search engine

Hmm. What speed are you burning the disc at and what program are you using to burn it? Could be that the media can't handle a higher burn speed and on a discman (which can be flakey sometimes) it might be going "What the..?" when it comes to a certain point where the burn might be a bit shakey. Some cheap car stereo systems seem to be like this too, as I have unfortunately found out with some of my burns :/

Thats bollox

Its the cd-r's u r using, discmans seem to be very sensitive, and mine wont seem to play certain 700mb cds. Very odd.

So i alaywas get high qaulity cd-r's like trax data or verbatim for audio stuff

Hope that helps, but i think its yr cds u use mate

So if the CD-R is crap, burn at low speed

It doesnt matter wot speed u burn them at, a lot of walkmans wont even detect crap cds, so u have to use decent ones, not the crappy unlabelled crap i used to use

I have seen this problem many times as well. I don't think it is the burn speed either. Its not the CD because when I add it to the tracklist it will only show the shortened time, even though the Mbs are much bigger. Maybe it is a software problem, I usually use Easy CD creater. I think some Mp3s have problems when converting.
The latest PVD set from Nova969, I got it off of Djmixes2k and the MP3 is fine, but when I try to put it on a CD I can only get 41 minutes.
What I have done in the past is if it cuts out very near the beginning I will split the MP3 remove the first 5 minutes or so and then bring it back together.

if your files mean a lot to you, buy quality stuff. For a CD you burn to listen to for a week, get cheap ass CD's

Yeah, I'll buy some better stuff next time

I think it's just the nature of cdr's not being compatible with all cd lpayers including Discmans, regardless of whether they're cheap or not. I've got a cd player that doesn't read some burnt Verbatim discs that well.
