Title: Burned CDs play fine but "hangs" at end of last track
Post by: JNT on March 26, 2009, 03:53:10 PM
Burned some CDs recently and they play fine but hang at the end of the last track.  They done stop or repeat the way they normally would end the end of the disk.

Any idea what causes this?

I can think of a couple of possibilities:

Overburning was my first thought, too.

Be warned that older CD players have difficulties reading the newer 80 min CD-s. These use a finer pitch between tracks than these really know how to handle. The older type of CD-R with the coarser pitch giving 74 minutes playing time seems near impossible to get hold of.

I've run into that issue to, with my father's 1980s-era Technics player; it'll choke on K-Hypermedia discs, but Taiyo Yuden discs, like Japanese-made Maxell CD-R Pro and old Fujis, work fine.

A big surprise was that Memorex Lightscribe discs work fine in the old player, as well.

Overburning was my first thought as well (but then I haven't personally seen this since I quit using Adactec EZ Creater (ver 4) and 74min blank cd's)

Thanks for the replies on this.

I'm not overburning I'm using 80 min CDs and the material being recorded is under 80min

The burning program is CDBurnerXP  There are very few options and I don't see anything that would cause this issue.

The CD player is a recent model, bought last year. Tried in another player with the same issue.

I never did get this issue resolved.  Any other suggestions?

Burn at a slow speed?

It's a bit more involved, but try Imgburn:

Yeah I downloaded Imgburn last night.  Looks good but I liked the drag and drop simplicity of CDBurnerXP if I could get it to work.

I haven't tried adjusting the burn speed yet.

I have the same issue with discs burned using CDBurnerXP.

Well I never got CDBurnerXP to work so I'm now using Imgburn.  Imgburn works great. It's a nice program but like you said it is more involved.
