Want to burn a CD from USB of my avant grande performance

You have a memory problem. If you are using a flash card for memory or a CD drive or perhaps you have configured an external drive, you need to free up some space. Try deleting tracks or songs you don't need anymore.

Each song is independent on a CompactFlash
without affecting other songs. You can give a desired song name for managing recorded songs
(see pages 23 and 91).
Recorded track data is stored in a song as mono WAV files.
The MR-8mkII can convert the two WAV files recorded on tracks 7 and 8 (L and R) to a stereo
WAV file (see page 115).
You can export the converted stereo WAV file to your USB-connected personal computer, and
use the file by a music software application or make an original audio CD on the computer using
a CD burn software application. You can also burn an audio CD by using an external CD-R/RW
drive connected via the [USB HOST] port of the MR-8mkII (see page 115 and 123)

try to find a rewritable media that is compatible with your player, like it can read recorded dvd disc . some dvd plyer dont have capable of reading photo cd, recorded disc, burned disc etc. maybe your player is the one like that.

As there is no USB port on this IC Recorder, you can connect the Headphone OUT of the IC Recorder to the LINE IN of the Computer. Then, use any Sound Recorder Software to capture the files. You can also use the Sound Recorder Software preinstalled in the Computer. After transferring the recordings to the Computer, you can use any CD Burning Software to burn the files to a CD.

Unfortunately, there are no drivers available for windows 98. Most of your memory sticks will not work on windows 98. Your best bet is to burn your files on a CD and use that instead.

Impossible, since your device _reads_ CDs/DVDs, but does not _write_ either CD nor DVD.

Do you have a USB memory-stick (holding 4Gbytes) ?
If so, copy the files to the memory-stick,
and take the memory-stick to your friend's computer,
presuming that his/her computer has a DVD-writer.
That DVD can be _read_ on your computer.

bought a better brand of discs than TDK

Windows XP CD Copy Windows XP has CD-Recordable (CD-R) disc burning support for most CD writers.
First set your CD-recording options:

• Open "My Computer"
• Right-click your CD-R drive and select "Properties". See figure BK-1.
• Select the "Recording" tab (if this tab isn't available, your device doesn't support CD burning).
• Check the box to "Enable CD recording on this drive".
• Select the drive to hold the temporary files (before the system burns a CD-R disc, the system writes the files to be recorded to an intermediary area - this area must have enough free space to hold an entire CD's content).
• Select the CD recording speed (Fastest, 4X, 2X, and 1X).
• Select whether to eject the media after recording.
• Click OK.

Perform the following steps to record to a CD-R:

• Insert a blank CD-R disc into your CD burner.
• Copy or drag the files or folders to be recorded to the CD-R drive, or right-click on the files or folders and select Send To, Writable CD.

• After you have copied all the files, select the CD-R drive from "My Computer" and you'll see the waiting files as "Files to add to the CD."
• Right-click the CD-R drive, and select Write to CD.
• Enter a name for the CD-R disc, and click Next.
• The files will be written to the CD-R disc.
• After the system writes all the files, it will eject the CD-R disc (if you chose that option above).
• Click Finish.

I am trying to burn data files and it gives me: The option to continue an existing CD is disabled, because you have selected the image recorder. Select you real recorder by using the menu command "CD Recorder" 'choose recorder' to enable this feature.
On the menu, I clicked on Recorder, then choose recorder and Image Recorder is the only one lister.
Please advise...john

these disc have a compatbility issue with a lot of computers and players reading from the dark recording surface .

the solution is simple use memorex cdr that have a mirror type recording surface on back the more reflective the recording surface the easier the media is to read stay away from dark recording surfaces.

It is always possible the person has even less knowledge of burning than you do... And they may have not done it correctly. There are a few different possibilities, of which may not be good for you. The best way for the files to be retrieved, is to put it back in the other PC and try to open. If the person did an open write ( didn't close out the disk ) You need to have a PC, writer/reader, and software that can open it up... Also, in a few rare instances, the drives have slight differences that the 2 can't read disks that are created by the other... There is also a slight possibility that the person went through the motions, and actually burned nothing. And finally, the CD Drive you have may be shot... Try another cd, and make sure that your drive works...
