Problems with my CD burner program and the music




Posted by Crazy K

Ok I just recently tried to make a cd, but it failed. I then tried again and it failed again. Now I don't know what may be the problem, but my music is shown like this in my music folder: [IMG]http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/4895/problem0gn.jpg[/IMG]

is there anyway to fix the icon so to say or whatever?

[Size=4]Go to View>Folder options, then find the checkbox that says "Hide extensions for known file types" and see if it is unchecked.

See what the 3-letter extension at the end of the file is. If there isn't one, then you should put it on. Most music is mp3. You can't burn a file if it has no extension if I can remember right... but see if any of your programs can play the file. If you downloaded that, maybe it's a bad file.[/size]

Its checked.

Also the songs play, Im just having trouble with putting them on cd. Also is there a way to convert them back to the way they were?

Yes, put '.mp3' on the end of their filenames.

I know what the prob was. I went to properties and then clicked on change to change the software that plays it from Realone to windows media player, and it works now.
