I've had over a 50% fail rate trying to burn 55-65 mins of music. Is it Windows Media player's fault? Can it be bad batch? Seems very high...

The only way your question could be more vague is if you hadn't submitted it at all. Some details that usually help: computer, CPU, RAM, operating system, burning software, burner used, fail details (buffer underun or overrun, disk read errors, etc.). I haven't burned a coaster in at least a year out of several hundred blank CD's and DVD's. WMP isn't burning software, it's for playback and ripping. I use Nero for burning and LiteOn, Plextor or Asus Blu-ray burners with 8mb of cache. Verbatim is my choice for blank optical media.

Same here!! Using them for photo CD's for my clients, and I have to keep burning copies. What a pain!!

One possible problem might be your write speed. Even with a CD drive advertising write speed up to 52x, and discs saying you can write up to 52x, I had failures like this in the past. I never go above 24x anymore and taking it slow have had no failures. There should be a disc write speed setting in whichever software you are using, but it probably resets with each new disc you create.

I've never had a problem with the discs. I would check your software. I have always used ITunes to burn my music, much more reliable. Hope this helps you. Bob

Check your format for what you are burning in. 88 min max can be burned on a cd-r in a wav file

Have had mine for over 2 years and no problems yet. But then it might depend on how much you use the player? Mine doesn't really get used that much.

I haven't hit a loser with either ASUS player while WDs aren't so friendly. I haven't used it for music yet, so I don't know if it reads the playlists straight up. I haven't tried .isos as others have recommended, but it plays mkv and the variety of avis just fine. I have the WD Live and Mini, too, and I think I'm growing to like the ASUS products for the ease of use, variety of file formats, and more visible fonts (I even set up the R1 for my 82-year old father, and plug in soccer games for him when I get them). Thx for the google suggestion.

Hi Gissie,I use the supplied Sony "MediaGo" application to download songs and other files to the player and it seems to work just fine for me. It's intuitive and easy to use and reasonably responsive. I hope that helps!

Every several months, my cassette deck rejects the device. What I do is keep the music playing, then keep putting it in a few times until it accepts it. It's been maybe a year since I've had to do it. I would try cleaning the cassette deck if it. I don't see how this thing could destroy a player unless you are being really rough with it.

read the directions of both your player & & cleaner disk !! this usually helps . , when all else fails !!

Sorry to hear about the not rewinding or fast forwarding. We did notice a slightly longer delay while holding down the switch to get this feature working, (compared to other types of MP3 players) but only by an extra second or two while the song is playing. I hope yours is still under warranty and SanDisk will honor their product.

I don't recall it 'timing out' ?? I bought several in a row and they all bombed. It was a disgusting waste of time. They should be ashamed of themselves for presenting a product that had SO SO SO many flaws in the system.

I have burned, erased, and re-wrote (is that a real term?) and have had no problems. I did find that although they play in my CD player in my truck, they won't play in the disc changer in the same truck. Go figure! I would recommend them and when I run out, I will be buying more of the same.

I just got my 1005PR today and I've haven't been able to get it to play a dvd with an external player. Also, when I play a movie ITunes, it's choppy. I wonder if there is something wrong with my Broadcom Chip. It's not a good sign if If several people are having the problem.

Don't know what problem you're having. I tested this for about an hour of continuous recording. I plugged the device into a PC and it played ten minutes (9:59 to be exact) of video. What you need to do is to go into the removable drive )my computer/ removable drive (E) or what ever letter it may show) and open the folder. You will see a number of ten minute clips (depending on how long you recorded for). Also, you may need to see what types of files your media player is set to play. It may not have TIF chosen.

I haven't had any not work, yet. I've used maybe a dozen so far. I only burned at 6x so far, don't know if at some faster burn speeds, you may have issues?

I have three Sony Internet players in the house, and a 50 mbs internet connection. Generally it works well, although I did move the player at the far end of the basement onto a wired connection. Occasionally I still have an issue with the responsiveness of youtube videos, but as far as I can tell it is an issue with their streaming server or local ISP congestion, not with the player.

Yes. Beware though. I have found that mp3s that are recorded at a higher than average (above 128k) tend to cause this player to skip through the songs about every 3ish seconds.

I have used several: DVD FAB, Nero 11 and several iso burners. The only thing I tried that failed completely was the Windows burner. It is an absolute bust at Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray burning is a real resource hog I am using win7, quad core running at 3.2Ghz and 8 Gig of RAM and when burning I still can't do anything else.

Have had mine for about 3 years and had just one problem playing CD-R's. It was caused by a particular manufacturer's blank CD-R's. That particular manufacturer's CD-R's wouldn't play in my car either. Sorry, but I have forgotten who the manufacturer was. I only use Memorex or Maxell CD-R's and use Arcsoft TotalMedia Extreme burning software. So I must agree with Willo's answer. It's probably the type of media you are using.

I agree with K.Mitchell. I also bought a couple of albums at 192kHz/24bit and was extremely disappointed when I A/B them against files that were ripped from my CDs. Total waste of money I actually deleted the files.
