Hi prettymamma, my favourite program is Media Player Classic - Home Cinema - Video Player

What kind of music CD is it? Can it be played from a computer? Can your CD drive read it?

have you tried turning it off and on again?

Are you sure that the cd is burned correctly ? Have you tryed to plat it on another pc,or in audio system/dvd to see if there are any files/songs ?

 

[prettymamma]

I cannot play the CD, it will not start, seems the computer not recognizing it........also, can I copy music on to a cd from the internet radio?

Please advise.

Two things to check if you haven't already.

Will the music CD play in a different CD player? Car or home CD player?

Will other CD's work in the CD player? If it is a DVD/CD player will DVD's play?

Just wondering if it is that particular CD that won't play or the player itself is not working.

Recording internet radio I have no idea on that one.

 

[prettymamma]

thanks for responding.......Yes I have tried the cd on a cd player, its working..... on lap-top working......
On windows 7......not working.

Have you tried it using Windows media center and Windows media player and are they your default programs?
Can you play movies?
Can you fill in your Specs.
We need to know what we are working with.

 

[prettymamma]

Yes, windows media player is my default program. I have never played movies but I did look at a Cd with pictures of a wedding and it was ok, only music I cannot play.

"I'd learned my own lesson "If the cd rom does not play CD's Change the cd rom"


the cd drive was a Pioneer,"

May be I am a pessimist too. We shall wait to see what CDROM drive you have.

 

[prettymamma]

I got it working................

Many thanks.

Glad to hear that you have solved the problem.

 

[jumanji]

Good to know there was really no problem with the optical drive but can you share the secret how exactly you solved the problem?

Telling others how you got it fixed could help many. That is what we are all about, helping.
