Long story short, I bought this converter box from ADS Tech to convert a bunch of old audio cassettes to digital computer format. The tapes are not individual discrete songs, but rather long audio recordings. Anyway, I spent hours and hours and hours converting everything and it all seemed to go really well. I have a bunch of electronic files now that play great and sound great on the computer.

But what I really want to do is burn them to CDs to give to friends (like I said, long story). The problem is that when I use the Nero SoundTrax software that came with it, the CD burning gets messed up. For some reason (and I've tried this a dozen times now), the first recording gets burned multiple times onto the same CD rather than burning recording 1, then recording 2, 3, etc, even though that's the way I have it setup to burn in the dialogue window. Putting the CD into a regular CD player, the tracks all play fine, but it's just recording 1 over and over again.

I've e-mailed Nero tech support back and forth a few times but they have not been very helpful. They told me to download a logging program from their website so that I could log what is happening and send it to them. But I couldn't get the program downloaded, so I'm stuck.

I've tried using the other burning software I have on my computer (Sonic), but that doesn't work because the converted electronic files are in MPEG-4 format and that's not supported by Sonic. Don't ask me why the files are MPEG-4, that must have been the default in the Nero software.

Can anyone help?

I was hoping someone would respond. My guess would be try and convert them to a wav file and then put them in order and burn them. Nero usually has a wave editor that does more then wave, simply start the program (if you have it) and then save it to the wav file format.

Not sure if I fully understand the problem but have you tried just using Nero Burning ROM to create an audio CD, dropping the files in there and seeing if it will convert it? Sounds like you're trying to create the CD's with a different Nero utility, which I'm sure uses the same burn engine, maybe just a different approach.
Otherwise, maybe see if there's a utility that will convert mp4 to mp3 or wav or something and give that a try. A bit of a pain but might get you to your destination.

I don't actually have the whole Nero package, just Soundtrax and WaveEditor that came with the cassette-to-computer conversion box. But I did try using the Sonic burning software that I have, and that didn't work because it didn't recognize the MPEG-4 files. Why in the world the Nero default for this conversion stuff was MPEG-4, I dunno.

It's the strangest thing...I never was able to get exactly what I want burned to a CD, but I did find a workaround. So, for example, let's call these two files MPEG-4 #6 and MPEG-4 #7. They just wouldn't go on the CD, so I put #6 on a CD by itself and then was able to burn #7 and #8 to a CD. Doesn't make any sense to me, but at least I'm making progress.

Thanks for the responses you guys.

Are you using a newer version of Nero? It may not support MPEG-4 file formats properly. Can your ADS tech converter make MP3s?

You can download a 30-day trial of Nero Burning ROM just about anywhere. I'd try that, too, instead of just the software that came with.
