Hi Bill, I just saw this post.  I am creating cd's for clients and still learning how to use my  audio creating software.  It seems to be working, but I feel I could do better then with the software I'm using. I will have to check out the software you mention above.

 

I've found one client who could not open the cd on her laptop or her player, so I resent the same file with sendthisfile to her computer where she can now open it and play it.

 

Technical I am not. So I guess I need to learn how to create a cd that will open in all formats?

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks,

 

Brenda

 

ps, I have several weight loss cd's and a smoking cessation cd which I've created for clients. Nothing yet on anxiety or relaxation I could give it a go and post it for you when I get one set up.

Hi Brenda,

 

There are people here who are much more technical than I.  I do everything in mp3.  I haven't burned to a cd in years.  If the file is too big for email, I use https://www.yousendit.com/ so they can download it to their iPod or personal player.

 

My recommendation is to play recordings while going to sleep, so an mp3 player is more practical than a CD player.  You can put the ear buds in, slide the machine under the pillow an relax!  It turns off automatically.  

 

Bill

I hadn't seen this before either Bill.. sorry.

 

Brenda...

Also.. you can burn mp3 files to a CD and they all play just fine. I play them in the CD player I have next to my bed, which also shuts off when finished.

I've been using a Real Player to record and thought I was recording as MP3, but for some reason this client can't seem to play it on her player or laptop?  She said she can play it once I email the same recording to her email.  So I wonder if it is the real player recording not working with her media player -- or my windows 7 not working with her os?

 

This is the first client who has had any issues playing my cd's?  

 

I can play them on my equipment as well.  

 

That is why it puzzles me that she is the only one who can't seem to play them unless I email them to her.

 

I did download the audacity as Bill has suggested, so I can play around with it and learn how to use it and see if that works better for this client?  I have one more recording to make for her.  So I will give it a go with Audacity and check it out.

 

I like the fact your player turns off when done, that is a great feature John.  Good if you are doing sleep therapy to just float off to sleep.  

 

Thanks for your advice, I will give it a try as well to double check that I'm burning as mp3.

 

Cheers!

Brenda
