Burning CDs
Do I need a special CD-recorder to burn CDs with your software?Yes, you need a CDRW drive or CD recorder before you can use our software. (It needs a special laser found in the CD recorder drives.) Also, see our list of supported cd-recorders. How do I change to MP3 CD mode?Acoustica MP3 CD Burner defaults to Audio CD mode which burns audio CDs playable in most standard CD players. To switch to MP3 CD mode, click the "MP3 CD" radio button. Alternatively, select "MP3 CD Mode" from the "Song List" menu. How many songs can I put on an audio CD? You are limited to 74 minutes of audio per recorded audio CD. If you have an 80 minute blank CD-R, you can record up to 80 minutes if your CD recorder drive supports it. (The actual time of an 80 minute CD is 79 minutes and 30 seconds of audio, though.) To burn an
80 minute CD with MP3 CD Burner, make sure that your CD-recorder
supports 80 minute audio CDs.
Not all CD-recorders support 80 minute CDRs! If you are not sure, consult
your CD-recorder's documentation or visit the manufacturer’s website
for help. By default, the software will automatically sense the capacity of any blank media that you put into your cd recorder, so if you don't want to think about it, just put in a blank CD while you are creating your song list to burn. (Make sure that the CD size next to "Arrange Song List" is "Audio CD (Detect Size)" Make sure that the drop down on the "Arrange Song List" is set to Audio CD (80 min) How do I fit more songs on a CD?There are 2 important types of CDs that you can burn.
An Audio CD can only hold 74 or 80 minutes of audio An MP3 CD can hold MP3s and it goes by file size, rather than length of audio. Instead of 80 minutes, it holds, 700 Megabytes (MB) of music. The MP3 quality will determine how much audio will fit. In practice, it usually is 10 times more, ie: 800 minutes. The number of songs will be dependent on how large the songs are. To burn an MP3 CD, click the "MP3 CD" radio button on the "Song List" If you have a DVD burner, you can put in a recordable DVD and get up to 7 times more than on a CD recorder. (4.7 GB of space!) How do I remove 'cdburner.com' or 'acoustica.com' from the CD-TEXT title of a burnt disc? It can't be removed from a previously burnt disc. But here's how you can set the title. The title is derived from what you save your MP3 CD Burner session as. So before you burn, save the CD session by selecting "Save" from the "File" menu. If you save it as "my tunes.cbs" it will then use "my tunes" as the title of your CD. (If the session is not saved, it sets the title to 'www.cdburner.com' . ) (CD-Text is only available when using the Goldenhawk engine and only with specific CD-recorders.) It burns too slow - How do I speed it up?This depends on what type of CD you are creating.If you are creating an MP3 CD, click on the MP3 CD wizard icon on the right side of the "Arrange Songs List" and click "Next". Then select "Fast" and click "Finish". Note that in fast mode, song/track order cannot be preserved and all conversions will be skipped. Otherwise, when you click burn, make sure that the burner mode is set to "Burn CD!" and that the burner speed is set to "Max". How can I squeeze more songs on an MP3 CD?If you aren't in a hurry, you can Acoustica MP3 CD Burner reconvert any files that are over a specific bit rate.
When you finish the wizard, you'll notice that you suddenly have allot more space available. Keep in mind that it will take much longer to burn the MP3 CD due to the conversion stage necessary.
