It is apparent to me that you are bitter about not being a beta tester any more but you should keep that to yourself. It has no business in a help forum.

Well said. That is EXACTLY why I deleted it. Negative attitudes, flaming Admin or others, and the like have no business in ANY forum, not just MTU.Community.

Also, my deleting negative attitude posts has nothing to do with FREEDOM OF SPEECH. It is pure decency and respect we are talking about here, and if you want to talk trash, go elsewhere. I have never in the past, nor do I today, nor will I tomorrow tolerate negative attitudes. There are two folks bantering with me on our Forums right now that are one post away from being PERMANTENTLY BANNED from viewing or posting. They know who they are.............

Okay folks,..went back and completely removed again old MS. Then once again downloaded 3.0.

Went to complie a disc with 19 songs. Result: "Writing to CD faild." Tried again but picked two songs. It copied to disc. Ran it through the play side and worked perfectly. Went back and tried to do the "19 " songs again. Result again: "Writing to CD failed." Went back tried two more songs only and it wrote to and played from the disc perfectly. Tired one more time to make a compiled disc with 19 songs, (Yes, still had over 2 min of time left on the disc.) faile to write again. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,

Kelly

Try 18?? Maybe your disc is a 74 min instead of 80 min??

Thanks. Only wish that was the case.

Kelly,

Nice "seeing" you again.

I know this is too simple, but it is new to the game, so I'll ask you anyway.

Did you try TOOLS, DEFAULT DRIVES, highlight the writing drive and click
HWERROR CORRECT, APPLY.

Didn't help me any, but may resolve yours...dunno, just brainstorming.

Take care,
George

Yes I did. To no avail. Now for an update. I neber could get it to copy the 19 songs. There was over 2 min left on the disc. This was never a problem in previous version. I finally got it to copy "18" songs. Strange. I sent the same "19" songs to my laptop which has the older version of MS and it copied fine. But would only do 18 with new version.

Now there is a few other "things." I noticed after you copy a disc. There seems to be no way to delete those songs from your file (computer) without getting completely out of MS and going to say Explorer for i.e. and deleteing them there.

Second, I noticed that when you insert a disc to play, it takes on the average 4 minutes to get the songs to move to the play side of the screen. I'm sure this isn't suppose to be this way either.

George, nice "seeing" you again too. Sounds like your gonna have to take another "chill pill.' Just teasing sir. Always appreciate yours and everyone else's help. Gonna call it quits for tonight. It will all work out. With MTU it always does.

This may be one of those little bugs missed in beta testing that Admin needs to take a look at. I don't think any of us tried to fill up a disc.

This was brought up during testing but decided to leave it that way. Maybe Admin can expand on the reasoning behind it. And you don't have to close MS to go to Windows Explorer to delete them....multi-tasking.

MS does not play directly from the CD. The files have to be imported as BIN files to play in the player which takes time since it involves reading from a CD and not a hard drive.
