Yamaha Cd Writer playing up

[Atom_Ant]

hi guys, jus wondered if anyone could give me any ideas about why my Yamaha CRW4416EZ will not copy music from CD's or music from my computer to CD's? i had a look at the driver and it is fully up to date, it will write data disks fine but just nothing to do with audio?

Thanks alot for any help/

Atom_Ant,

If you want to copy audio cd's ,you need a ripping software. Copying .cda tracks directly from your cd to your HDD or vice versa wont work. Try to get Audio-cd rippers [google] to extract audio from cd's and use nero's 'make audio disc' to burn audio cd's.

Atom_Ant,

what do you mean, it doesn want to copy ? you mean you cant copy any stuff when you insert your cd's or ..?

If i stick the files in nero express and click copy with the Cd inserted it does the first song and then comes up with Burn Failed or Simulation failed i dont know if its the songs or the copyer?

Atom_Ant,

Does it happen only for audio-cd's ? And btw does it happen when you write stuff to cd's or when you copy from the cd's?.

My best bet is to use another burning s/w [E.g alcohol 120 %] and burn a cd.If it burns okay, Nero has a problem. If not, update your cd-writer drivers and try again. If nothing works, i guess the laser has worn out and you need a replacement of your writer.
