You may want to cover more of your complete setup. How are your drives set
up, is the burner set as master or slave, etc. How fast is your computer, how much memory, basically anything with the system that might effect your burning. MP3 files, and are they converted or what? Have you updated any firmware on your burner? Clark

Check to see if there is a firmware update. Firmware updates for CDRW drives
are pretty common and very simple to run. I have a burner"combo cd-rom cdrw" that works fine for the CDROM part.Plays music cd's,data opens fine ect.But when i try to burn a cd it won't burn them.sometimes it will do a complete burn but the audio won't play.on a different cdplayer or this one i have either..sometimes there are error messages and the cdrom ejects the cd.i have tried slowing down the burn speed,tried usind different software to burn also..Nero,easy cd creator,and windows media player.nothing works.i mainly just want to burn music,not data.it is a GCE 8502B Unit.

Honestly, using a "cheap" CD-RW unit, or cheap CD blanks, is the likely
cause of your problems. Price makes a difference in the quality of the object. -- DaveW "RH710" wrote in message news:3cx3d.4371$4j1.3879@trndny06...

Well, if it just stopped working it might be the laser has gone bad. Have
you tried to clean it? Can you swap it to another computer? Good Luck Clark "RH710" wrote in message news:4uK3d.118$sa.108@trndny05... "DaveW" wrote in message news:eoJ3d.19628$wV.13169@attbi_s54...
