Umm, cd burner is not listed in the list

are you sure ? it's not called CD Burner, it should either be ATAPI device, or a SERIAL looking ID.

SW-252F (52X32X52X)

I'm definite it should work because the computer shop installed it and they are the best store all the people i know love that store.

So i must be doing something wrong...

So other than Image Recorder being listed, nothing else is shown?

Try reinstalling Nero, and also if you're using 5.5, perhaps you might want to update to 6.

5 or 5.5?

The Samsung SW-252F is supported from Nero version 5.5.23 onwards.

Samsung would have never shipped a version of Nero that doesn't work with its own burner. Ask your vendor what software should have came with the burner.

I Use NERO 6 (pro? The version that can also burn dvd's)
Its just a few simple clicks under ~"audio" : and it burns nicely.

However, im not a fan of this ; nor recommend it , as the conversion to MP3=>WAV ? Drops the quality even further - where you get messed up bass/trebble or whatever those tones in music are

...not to mention the static...

mp3 is bearable (128kb encoding+) until it gets put on a music cd

WAV to MP3 is a lossy process.

MP3 to WAV is not.

Oh yea, it is 5.5 i only read the big 5 on the top lol...

 

[sunny]

Is it 5.5.23 or above?

If it is not, see if you can poke around the Nero website to find some updates for your version.

Im sure you can get your hands on nero 6 .
It comes with ur cd/dvd burner.

Then huh come it sounds "worse" after converted to a cd ?
The actual fact that you are converting something means that there will be imperfections in the process ?

As already mentioned, happy got version 5.5 with the burner.

MP3->WAV is a decompression process. You are not compressing it. There is no need to lose data. Loss only occurs when you need to compress/recompress.

It may sound 'worse' for several reasons: the sound system you are using. For starters, Winamp's EQ does not apply to WAV's and CD's, which might make things sound 'worse' and 'bare'.

I dont use Winamp. Let alone touch EQ.

Maybe not losing data, but like yeah, im in comp123 ok, leave me alone

The 'image' thing, had to reinstall 5.5 because of that small problem caused me hours of frustration... =/


Anyway what speed is recommended when burning cds?

And does the quality of a cd matter when burning cds? Does it cause more glitches?
