This is slowly driving me nuts! I booted with an older Ubuntu, 10.04. Same problem. So, rebooted and tried once more, but this time I removed tracks 8 and 9 (it was hanging at the end(?) of track 8 ...) And, guess what? Yes, the burn was 100% successful. I've copied the files to an alternate directory and the same problem, so I'm thinking it's not a flaky sector in the file. So, what in the world could be wrong? The tracks are an album of recorder music I got of the net in flac format. I converted the flac files to wav using sox. If I use 'file' on the files they all appear to be the same: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz Is it possible/probable that there is bit pattern in the file causing this to happen? Oh, and yes, I tried this in both TOA and DOA modes. Both fail ... but in DOA one doesn't know just where. I think that k3b and brasero both use cdrecord, which is a link to wodim. Is there an alternate burner that I could try? -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob@xxxxxxxxxxxx WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
