why we use the word "BURN" for CDs??

It's the way data is recorded on a compact disc. A CD recorder uses a laser to selectively heat parts of an organic dye layer in a disc. With rewriteable CDs, the laser melts a crystalline metal alloy.\n\nThat's why CD recorders are sometimes called burners.

Right - with CD-R you would need to do whatever you want to the files (including passwords & permissions), before burning to CD.\n\nSome CD-R formats & burning utilities do support writing additional sessions (you would re-burn all the files, and it would be as if you over-wrote them, but the space would still be used from the first time).  Whether or not you can do this depends whether or not you closed the first session.

if you have a mix of purchased and cd songs, it will be easiest to burn them on a cd or dvd, depending on the number of songs you have.  I had to do this recently and it would have taken 19 cds, so I dumped them all on a removable hard drive (an ipod would work too) and transfered them that way

What software are you trying to use to burn the CD? It could be that the song has a method of copywrite protection on it and the sofware will not allow you to burn it.

The best way I found was to slow the burning process way down, there will be less chance of an interruption in the buffered data and should help to prevent errors.  The quality of the CD also depends on the quality of the digital music you are burning.  Go with a bit rate of no less than 320kbps which is as near CD quality as you're going to get.  The media also plays a part, buying cheap CDR's will increase the failure rate.  Goto the website below for more info.  The website has info for just about any brand of blank media.  Lot's of info on everything related to burning cd's.  The only way to check for errors in the music is to listen to it completely afterward.

if you bought a computer with a cd burner on it, chances are it has a program on it. just put in a blank cd and usually somehing will pop up asking you if you want to burn something.

CD-r burns on the bottom of the disk, where a CD+R burns on the top.  There is really no difference in terms of use.

Nothing is actually burnt in the sense as oil burns!\nBut laser light makes pits & lands --- that is,an 'up and down' profile in  the silver coated surface of the cd by heat ----Thats what the term 'burnt' is imparted for!!

Ok, that's a "classic" problem, I guess...\n\nI have two solutions...\n\n1) If the CD that you are trying to access is burned, then it's a good chance that the CD was not burned properly. "Not burned properly" could mean one of two things: it wasn't finalized (which really only affects audio CD players) or that the information was not burned to the CD. If the CD wasn't finalized (which shouldn't cause a problem for a computer since multi-session discs which allow you to add data to a CD more than one time play fine "un-finalized") you should re-open the program that you used to burn the CD and finalize it. I am unsure which program you may have used, but the terminology of "finalize" could also be "close session" or something to the effect of "don't allow any more writing of data." \n\n2) You should replace your DVD writer (you said that you had a combo drive?). You don't have to replace the entire computer...that's preposterous and like treating a sore thumb with amputation of the arm. The beauty of computers is their modular make up, where if one thing goes wrong, or becomes obselete, you can just replace that. Don't feel like you were misused by the store or company; these things are made in factories at high rates by machines that may make mistakes from time to time. To me it isn't worth it to try to get it repaired because these things are so accessible to the average joe, that you could probably buy one for less than it would cost to get fixed. \n\nIn the end, computer "problems" are really computer solutions waiting to happen. The more problems that you have and fix, the more you learn...until finally you need no one's help. The next thing that you know, you'll be finding computers to fix...you might even get into computer tweaking and overclocking...\n\nBut let's get the drive right first...:=)\n\nHope that helps...!

You can burn folders full of files to CD, but if they're music, they won't play unless they're in the root of the CD (not in folders). Also, you'll need to make sure that the combination of files in all folders don't exceed the capacity of the CD.

By this I assume you mean burn a CD that can not be copied.\n\nThere's not really any way to do this. The method in which CDs are writen is too well known. If you actualy managed to develop some way that a CD could not be copied, someone would manage to crack is in a matter of days.\n\nAlso, if you're talking about music CD's, there's no way to stop people from playing them. If you can play a music CD, it's a simple matter to route the output into the input and record the music into an mp3 file without the CD player knowing it's doing anything other than sending music to a pair of headphones.

It just means to copy.  The easiest way is to have 2 CD drives on your computer, and software that copies from one to the other.\n\nIf the CD has copyrighted music, you are breaking the law.\n\nNero is good software.

First of all, that's illegal, you cannot burn copies and then give them to people who do not own legit versions themselves. \n\nSecond of all printable CDs require special printers. Industralized ones costs in the thousands. Below is a link to a relatively cheap and good one that can print a fair number of CD-printables.

I'm assuming you want to play music on the CD player...correct?\nIf so, there are several variables you need to be aware of.\nFirst: compact discs differ for data and music.\nIf you plan on playing songs from a CD that you burn in your computer, then you must burn your music to an audio formatted CD.\nSecond: as to why your DVD player will play the disc but not your CD player, it could be that you have a high-quality DVD which will play a wide variety of discs.\nThird: you might try burning a DVD with tons of music on one disc to give yourself hours of music, as opposed to a 70 minute maximum on a CD.\nA note about DVD's: when you buy digital video discs, they come in a "minus" or "plus" format.\nThe label will read as such: "DVD-R" or "DVD+R".\nYou might check your player to make sure you are buring the correct disc format.\nSee link for further information.

it depends on many things\n1- if you are doing it right that is burning an Audio cd but it does not work on your cd player it means that u r using the wrong speed try using a speed for burning below 16x\n\n2- if you are not doing it right that is burning not audio cd then it just wont work.

While any CD-R will work, the ones that are listed as "music" or "audio" CDs - and are more expensive - have an extra amount added to their price that goes back to the record industry to buy royalty to musicians and others.  So files burned to a Music CD are legal.  Files on other CDs may not be.  Other than that, they are identical.
