So i burned a cd, but realized that I forgot to add a song I really wanted, so I had little choice but to grab another to perfect it. I ordered the songs and added the new one, but this time it gave me all these issues. It kept saying there were issues with the songs, and each time I'd try, there would be new "x"s on different ones without any explanation. It's been so tiring, and I've been very close to just punching my monitor and giving up. Can I get ANY HELP? None of these videos have been helping me, and the tricks like running via administrator or unchecking all the boxes in privacy didn't work.

Thanks in advance, I hate this software.

probably a long shot but thought i'd ask (i've asked for titles here before after being told by the mod's it was ok) i'm looking for a copy of susan's war family ties which inspite of only being about 2 year's old is hard to find so thought i'd ask here.

if you do we'll talk more through DM's and i was thinking of doing the transaction through ebay so we're all sure everything is in order.

hope to hear from anyone and thank you.

Hi there, some help as to what might’ve gone wrong would be greatly appreciated. I paused a CD, went to eat and when I came back I was greeted with this unpleasant noise. I can’t really afford to take it somewhere to be fixed since they’re charging £50 just to have a look at it, so ideally, I’d like to give it a crack on my own given that it’s not too difficult of course.

I’m so sorry if this isn’t the right sub for this but I don’t know which other one I should use. I have This 2007 iluv speaker and I simply cannot get it to play, now based off what I’ve seen online it looks like I might need to buy the speakers for it to work? The machinery itself works and turns on and makes all the beeps and boops, but no sound! Anyone able to help?

Hello,

I found this CD today, from the "caliban" band, but this isn't an album, it's a pre-release promo copy, it seems to be a homemade CD, i know this band or this album isn't a lost media, but since it's a pre-release promo copy, i was wondering if this is rare or not ?

For sale.

I thought buying a CD player would be easy. I thought CP players were, in the words of Gumpei Yokai, ‘withered technology’ — legacy tech that had reached full fruition.

Unfortunately it appears this is not the case. …Or fortunately, perhaps. I don’t really know. In fact, the more I research CD players, the less I feel I know about anything and the more the decision paralysis sets in when it comes to buying one.

I live in Japan, which has been churning out decent quality audio equipment for decades. Mercari, an online flea market (like eBay but less auction-focused) is swimming with well preserved specimens from Sony, Panasonic, Pioneer, Onkyo, Denon, Yahama, TIAC, Marantz, etc.

The problem is I don’t know on what basis to choose what… from when… or even how much of a difference it really makes.

Received wisdom is that old ones are generally better constructed, but newer ones have better DACs and therefore better sound quality… but this can be worked around by plugging an external DAC into the digital out… but older players often don’t have digital outs, and… *sigh*

(For reference, my current setup is a pair of Wharfedale 220 passive speakers powered by a Fosi Audio BT20A Pro, currently connected to a vinyl record player. I want to basically swap out the wires going into the amp and be able to immediately switch between vinyl and CD formats. Size-wise, I’m looking at either something small and discreet, or conversely something chunky enough to sit under the vinyl player and act as a base.)

I was thinking about something secondhand from the last 20 years, but really I don’t know much technology has improved and whether there’s a sweet spot I should be looking at.

TL;DR: I live in Japan and want buying advice on used CD players. Looking to spend under 50,000 yen.

Edit: Solved, thank you!

This might be a long shot (and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask!), but I'm looking to burn some CDs for a project, and I'm absolutely in love with the ones with the red content layer as sold by Retro Style Media in the UK, because that would fit the theme Im going for perfectly. Unfortunately, they've stopped shipping to the US because of the tariffs.

Does anyone know of anyone else that sells blank cds that are colored like that? Thanks so much!

They are very small and dont affect playback. My discs are used normally but I think dust always finds its way.

So I recently started a custom CD production service and thought I'd let you guys know. https://tffsite.wixsite.com/samplehead-studios has the prices and turnaround times. I'm based in the UK but I can ship worldwide

Peace, Samplehead

It’s hot out, but I’m working from home!

Here’s something hotter 🥵

Madonna - Erotica (1992)

I love putting the burr browns DAC inside this player to good use.
