I've been making lots of coasters using DP's Burn Audio CD feature, and I don't know if the problem is me or the program. I've got about a dozen 30-40 minute AIFF files, and I want to convert each one into an audio CD. Each file is one live performance, so I placed Markers for each track change and selected "Base CD Tracks On: Markers" in the Bounce to Disk options. I also selected "Save Titles As CD Text".

The problem is, at the end of the burn when it does the verification, instead of displaying "Verification successful" or wording similar, it says "Burn failed with an error". When I play the resulting CD, all tracks play fine until the end of the last track, at which point it plays a loud white noise blip.

Of the dozen or so AIFF's which I've Bourced to CD, only two (I believe) verified without error.

Things I've tried, but have not helped:
Slowing the SuperDrive from 32x to 24x.
Chopping the audio file up into contiguous soundbites and changing the bounce option to "Base CD Tracks On: Soundbites"
Turning off "Save Titles as CD Text".
Including/Excluding the Conductor track in Bounce selection, thinking it may be connected to reading in the Markers. Silly, I know, but I've been grasping at straws.

Am I missing something?

You've done better than I have. I've never gotten it to work on either of my systems.

I haven't used this function yet and probably wont either as toast is seamless for my needs but maybe you could try burning the disk at a much lower speed.

Maybe at 8X and see if that helps.

Let us know how you go.

The same here , at the end of the last track there is a white noise and it stops, the CD stays spinning in the player!
Its the same if you use markers or soundbites,and it doesnt matter how long the CD is!!

Same here also. This was a problem in the original version 6 of DP. I can't wait for them to fix it but currently it is WAY not ready for prime time. I'm most looking forward to being able to drop in Markers as CD start ID points ala WaveBurner Pro.

I'm with Kassonica. Regardless of the outcome concerning this issue, I'd not burn audio at more than 8x if I could help it; 4x would be the norm for the Monkster.
