Hi,
I am using Nero V.5.5.10.0 and am trying to write data using all modes of nero
onto a cdrw and the finished result is a cd with one file (track1.cda) with a
file size equal to the total data i am trying to write,
and if i do the same to a cdr i just get a disc that wont play.

I have no other cd writing programs on the system but have had cloneCD on there

in the past.

The disk i am using are full-erased and spotlessly clean.

Reply A.S.A.P

Many thanks,

Rob

Track1.cda ??? It seems like you're trying to write an audio file as data. What are you doing?

Which kind of stuff are you trying to burn? Is it music, files from your HD, anything else?

well i try to write one mp3 to a cdrw and i get a cdrw with one track (track1.cda) and this track is the correct length and file size, windows media player satarts to play about 1 or 2 seconds of the track but only as silence then stops.
If i try to copy a data CD, but the finished outcome is a disc containing track1.cda with a file size of the total disc size of the source CD (e.g. 550MB).
The answer is probably something simple.
Thankyou for your time :)

are we trying to make an audio cd or just trying to put a mp3 song on a cd and not convert it. 1st how big is the mp3 file on the hard drive??? does it play on your pc now??? If you are trying just to put the mp3 file on a cdrw, then use nero data cd burning. Without more information, I am thinking that mp3 file is a whole album..

first of all, yes the mp3 does play on my harddrive, secondly it takes up 5.15MB and is just 1 song.
Lastly i use the audio cd mode of nero which lets me drag and drop CDA WAV or MP3 files.
I am following all the correct procedures.

Any help please guys...:)

If you use Nero's 'Audio CD' Nero converts the .MP3 to WAV (it does this when you Drag-and-drop). Then Nero will burn audio tracks.

Nero will create an Audio CD with N tracks, with N= number of MP3/WAV files you put into.

The problem is that you're creating a bad CD, because:

1) Since you you choosed 'Audio' on Nero, the CD is an AUDIO CD. You cannot open files from the PC. If you loo inside the CD with, say, Windows Explorer, you will only see stuff like:

Track01.cda (44 bytes)
Track02.cda (44 bytes)
and so on.
Those tracks ARE NOT real files so do not try to open/copy them. Your PC will become crazy telling you strange things.

2) Since the CD is a CD-RW, an audio player cannot read it.

So the CD is UNREADABLE by either media. Only, you can (maybe) play the audio tracks with Windows Media Player.

You should do this:
1) if you just want to burn .MP3, or files in general, and put them on a CD for exercise (or backup), choose Nero's 'CD-ROM (ISO)' and burn the files on either a CD-R or a CD-RW.
2) if you want an audio CD, choose 'Audio' but use CD-R not CD-RW. They will play on a CD player.
