I thank you all for your responses to my WMA question. I purchased the software and it works great on the WMA files, but not with CDAs, any ideas?

Pamela, as I recall, it's a plug and go. I don't remember getting a CD with it. Unfortunately, I had to return it because it wasn't compatible with my company's software so I really can't tell you much more about it. Hope it works out for you!

That sounds good. I am in the process of reripping the CDs that are WMA's - I knew the Ipod wouldn't play them, and I was worried about the sound quality with converted files. Thanks for the reply!

Sorry, Terry S., I haven't tried it on those, but it's working fine on audio. I'm pleased that it will copy music to data disks, whereas my old Koss CD Recorder would work only with Audio/Music designated disks. Big difference in price of disks. I still use the Koss to copy LPs to audio disk, then can copy it to cheaper data disks in the Produplicator. Process saves even more when I create my "masters" on Music CD-RW disks. Since I'm into audio instead of video, I'm pleased with my unit, which does just what I wanted. Good luck finding what you need.ken

I used to convert all my .wma files to .mp3 using Windows Media Player. Apparently, the Microsoft gods have now eliminated that feature. I do own NERO 12 but I'm a novice NERO user. I did a little research (before writing this response) using GOOGLE and NERO 12 is indeed supposed to be able to do this conversion, according to some users. I would suggest you ask someone with more experience. I bought NERO because I used to use a stripped down version of ROXIO. Recently, I had to reload my WINDOWS 7 OS and all of a sudden ROXIO would not work with the reinstalled WINDOWS 7. Hmmm? Go figure. That's why I went to NERO. Still learning NERO. Sorry can't be of more help. As an aside, these media packages (ROXIO and NERO, and others) have gotten too "bloated". They try to do too much. Users get lost easily. We just want the basic stuff, done cheaply. I'll climb down from my soap box now.

try: 1) other formats, e.g., MP3, cda. Also, not all .wav are created equal. That is, some proprietary software call itself .wav but... 2) another device. The problem could be with the device itself. 3) If you're using windows, try to reading Windows Media Player. It seems to be more tolerant than other protocols

Do you have it on CD? I did not have any trouble with the CDs playing. Have you read your instructions. They are very helpful.

I'm on OSX 10.9.1 and it worked perfectly to get old CD's and tapes into .mp3 format. Used Audacity - awesome!! Audacity looks bewildering at first, but is e-a-s-y to use.

Nope... Verbatim uses the term "Music CDs" for their Digital Audio CD formats. These work well with my duplicators and PC though.

I did not get an opportunity as the device chewed up my sd card. Using other devuces; I've become aware that I have convert WMA files first.

ONLY Sony MUSIC CD's (with the purple label) will work on my stand-alone Audio CD Recorders (made by Phillips, Teac, Kenwood, Crosley, [non-computer based]) as they have a bluish-green tint and have a special encoding to tell the recorder that they have they have paid a 'royalty fee' to record music. Standard CD's and many bogus Imation/Maxell/Verbatum/Memorex "Music CD's" do NOT have the proper encoding anymore to work in these stand-alone Audio CD recorders. So be careful with what you choose.

Hi Paul! I pulled out my user guide and it states that the unit is "not compatible with MP3 CDs." I truly hope this helps!

Yes; be aware, however, that it may categorize them under music. Other than that, it works very well with the WMA format.

Hello Laurie: I have use cd's I burned as music cds, or burned as mp3 and those seem to work fine, but for some I burned as *data* cd's (like a mix of mp3 and itunes formats etc, those have been some trouble- but when you burn data cd from itunes it does let you know the cd will not work on all players, so I don't think this is a limitation of the Yamaha system.

Have tried it with two programs so far. One is Musicmatch 7.5, my favorite CD software that rips and burn CD's as well as recording live audio streams (using the system mixer as the source.) This program is incompatible with XP, so I bought XP pro hoping to run this program and a few others. Unfortunately, the audio is awful in XP mode so there is tons of crackling when an audio file is played or when trying to listen to an audio stream. My "tech" support friend told me that this is a limitation of the audio drivers that are used when one is in Windows 7's XP mode. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!! I also tried Paperport 9 in XP mode. I can manipulate and edit my files in that mode (as well as in Windows 7), but the virtual printer drivers will not install either in 7 or in XP mode so I am unable to do screen captures or to make virtual copies or PDF copies of my documents and/or create screenshots. Bummer! In summation, XP mode really didn't work out very well for me in the end, and it may not do as much for you as you hope! Do some Google searching for the programs you have in mind and see if you can find any information about each one. You may be luckier than I. Good luck!
