Anonymous Poster	Weird issue with my computer CD-DVD player/recorder 10/01/2008 10:14 AM
	I use my computer CD-DVD player/recorder to rip CD tracks to my HD so I can then sync my Zune to it for music. I have one CD that my drive will not recognize although it will play in my wife's computer DVD player/recorder and in my stereo systems. The CD is in pristine shape. Any ideas what is going on with this?

	I think this might be due to a difference in formats. Have you tried looking at the directory of the disk? The drive or the software you use to rip the tracks might be looking for a different format than the files on the disk. You will probably have to dig into the settings for the software or the drive to take of this. __________________ I wonder..... Would Schrödinger's cat play with a ball of string theory?

	You didn't mention if this is an original CD or one of your duplicates. Some older generation players don't support CDRs/CD-RWs/DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs. __________________ If only you knew the power of the Dark Side of the Force

	This is the original purchased CD, actually Enya's Watermark. The one other album I have by her on the same label presents no problem as it was ripped successfully. So far I have ripped to WMA files, 53 albums ranging from Pink Floyd to Rimsky Koraskov. It makes no sense. __________________ Eschew obfuscation.

	Its a protected CD. If its from Sony BMG, it may have put a rootkit virus on your PC. Once the virus is there, you need special software to remove it. There was a big ruckus about this a few years ago, lots of people stopped buying Sony Music CDs because of this!!! __________________ "What others say about you reveals more about them, than it does you."
