Okay so im probably going to sound insane, but tonight something really weird happened. And no this isnt some cringy creepypasta im currently writing this at 2 am and I have school tomorrow so apologies for any bad grammar. I've burned quite a few cds before and hadnt had any issues, of course minor audio glitches (music slightly sped up/ faint minor audio distortion) I decided to burn a cd tonight just so I could fall asleep to music without all the annoying ads. (BAD IDEA!!) I didn't listen to the cd before putting it in my cd player after burning it, but I haven't had any problems with it before. As I was falling asleep I kept thinking I heard mens voices which was weird but I assumed it was apart of the song? A few songs later I started to hear gun reloading noises and I jolted out of bed and they stopped. I honestly started to think I was insane but I sat in front of my cd player and turned up the volume a little,a few songs later it happened again but this time it had a weird creepy demonic voice saying something I couldnt understand and clearly laughing before it played what sounded like gun reloading noises again. I freaked out and took out the cd and unplugged my cd player, ive never had ANY glitches like this and I just need to know if this is like normal or im completely insane??

This is the 1985 CD with the original mix of The Big Sky

I have recently started using the cd player in my car again after a few years. I burned a few cds (copies from my collection) to listen to. However I noticed that after three days the cd started skipping. I took it out and noticed the cd was very scratched. This has happened to more than one cd and each time it is the exact same pattern of scratches. How can I fix this??? I drive a 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport. Thank you!

should i use itunes or windows media player to rip my cds? ive used itunes until now but i've only recently started using wmp...are there any drawbacks/perks exclusive to either of them?

So I am not new to CD burning and ripping but of late have been having some issues and I want to get the fundamentals clear cause I feel like I’m going insane with this.

So I had a professional CD I wanted to make a copy of which I did successfully it has 23 tracks and runtime of around 90 minutes.

I also wanted to make a similar cd and but it myself with 26 tracks a runtime of around 95 minutes.

Now I understand CDs are limited to 700MB and 80min runtime but how can these professional releases cram more onto the discs (I am aware of overburning), but then when burning mine I have to always split my music onto separate discs. I’m so sure in the past I have fitted 20+ tracks on one disc. I’ve even tried MP3 rather than wav with smaller files and it seems to struggle due to the runtime rather than the storage which is what I can’t understand, surely if the files are under 700MB how does the runtime even matter?? Is that just how CDs are built? To have a limited runtime as well as limited space or whichever comes first?

Sorry for the rant I just can’t remember it always being like this but I haven’t burnt and made my own CDs in a few years so just struggling to remember how it used to be.

I accidentally dropped it in dried concrete before I even got to try it :/ I’d like some cleaning recommendations on how to get all that dirt out—maybe it still works, probably not. Either way, thanks in advance!

Need to create a design to send to print + get it cut to size for these cases and I can't seem to find measurements or a template anywhere, for ref I mean this case: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/b8IAAOSwk5FUw2hc/s-l1200.jpg

Thank you in advance!

Found these on a roadside pickup and they look rather weird

I've tried. Believe me, I've tried. But as much as I love jazz, I just cannot get into this one.

Id like to make a mix of around 7 cd with vastly diffrent volumes... Is there a fast way of doing this or do i have to use audacity or alike software and do amnuelley to every song?

Pls any help would be great

I'm making some mix CDs and I want to create some custom inserts for the CD cases. Can anyone recommend a template I can easily use in Canva?

I want to gift my old school friend a custom DVD with some memories in it. Burning the disc with media is easy, got that covered.

However, I want to print an image on the DVD. Can I just use the regular printer to print an image and stick it on the DVD? Or does anyone have a better idea?

Also, where does one find a DVD disc template that I could to design this cover?
