Trying to convert CD to MP3.

After conversion get a stutter on the recording.

Using Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum.

Any ideas what the problem is ?

Have tried all speeds etc etc and still the same.

All the best,

John Catlin

Umm.
Is the CD player using a DMA mode, or is it PIO? I can't remember if this helps at the moment or not - I had stuttering problems once & they have now gone (using the same kit) but I can't remember how I fixed it. Checking the data transfer mode is a good start, and DMA is always better than PIO.
If this isn't right, I'll try to remember a little harder.
If you haven't a clue what I'm talking about, could you say what operating system you're using?

 

Do not understand.

Operating system MS98 SE

 

OK, I think that'll be:
right click on 'my computer' & click 'properties'
there's then some tabs...
I think I need to go & find a machine with 98 on it somewhere - I'll carry on in the morning when I can find one!

 

I'd guess it's as nom suggests.

Go into device manager (right click my computer, select properties, select hardware tab then click "device manager".

Navigate to CD-ROM drive.

Check that DMA is enabled.

Also navigate to your "IDE controller" and check that DMA is enabled there too.

Many thanks for help, will try this evening when I get home.

 

Also make sure you burn your CD's at DISK AT ONCE, not track at once, otherwise you get a loud crack every time the CD-R laser pulses on and off - which is quite often on TAO.

Learnt this the hard way!!
