So just today I was amazed when I got my CD drive working for the first time in four years, and it turned out to be a very simple driver error.
Anyway, it can burn music just fine now to CD-Rs. However, once the files are on the disc they are all named numerically instead of their original file names and I cant seem to get around it. Also, I'm not sure if this is normal but all of the songs once on the CD have a file extension of CDA which originally had your basic MP3 extension prior to being burned onto my CD.
Anyway, I wasted way too many CD-Rs today trying to get an audio disk the way I want it and now I'm coming to you CEF for help. I've tried burning it with MediaMonkey, Windows Media Player, and ImgBurn as well. I've also included a picture of what exactly I am experiencing.


I also should note I'm running Win7 64-bit with a TSSTcorp TS-L632D ATA CD drive.

It's your cd-burner drivers, try updating them or finding an alternative driverpack for your model...

no.

it's the way you burn music on the disk. if you are making an audio disk that can be played in a standard cd player in a car radio, for example, then yeah, all the songs will be converted to a raw sound format, renamed, then burned on the disk.
if you're making a data disk, then there is a completely different story. this process simply "dumps" the files on the disk without converting them in compliance with standard audio players. Because the files are in mp3 format, some players that do not support the format won't be able to play it.

correct me somebody if i'm wrong - this is how I understand it.

It's normal for the filenames to be renamed to a series like Track 1, Track 2... but it's supposed to retain the attributes like Title, Artist, and Album so the mp3 player knows what to sort by and display.

Basically as long as the CD's play once there in the CD player it's all good.

Ok first, cd drives do not have drivers, windows just runs all opticals the same. SECOND, when you burn an audio cd it just makes it track 1/2/3 and so on. It does not keep names, and it does not show names when you play it on another pc.

There are no problems, you just are unknowning of how burning cds work.

CDA is to cd music files, as VOB is to dvd video files.

Depending on his cd burner model some come with oem driver software, like I once had a laptop that refused to work with anything other than nero.
Just sain.
