WILL NOT FIT

Okay, So I've got issues here.

The quick: I copy bunches 'O music from CD's into WMP
Libe. I arrange playlist. I click copy to CD and confirm
all songs fit, lop off those that don't. (That say, "Does
not fit") I even run a mental check and confirm the
numbers add up. Yep! Not breaking 700MB here. So I record.
WMP cycles, converts every song, then starts record phase.

Uh-ho. Here's where trouble begins. Only 10 or so percent
through the first song, the system cuts off abruptly and
starts closing the session prematurely. The results? I
get one song says, "Complete", and the rest say "WILL NOT
FIT", even though, apparently, they did before I started
recording. And sure enough, when I pop that CD in my
stereo, I get three or four seconds of on song. That's it.
No more. Nothing.

The bitch of it is, I can record all the songs I want all
day using HP Record now. So it's not the CD'S I'm using,
nor is it my burner. Something in WMP is flaking out and I
haven't a clue what!

Can somebody please help me? And could you write to
Captainstargazer@Yahoo.com? I just kinda stumbled into
here. Not all that sure how to get back.

Liggin.

WMP9 is simply not a very good program. If Record Now works well for you, then
you should stick with it.

Hey now.

You're talking about the system/XP CD burner, not WMP itself.
WMP's fine, it's just the flaky/fragile system CD burner that's the problem
child and makes WMP look bad. :\

When trying to copy music to a CD I can get 6 songs to
copy. Media Player shows that i have 120 minutes to use
but it only uses 40 minutes then it closes the CD. It
only using about 20 mb of a 700 mb disc. It does this
with the sound quality set on high or low.
