Music Maker can Import audio from "Audio CDs ."

Music Maker can burn directly to CD disk and DVD disk , MUST purchase the "CD DVD burn" feature .

it says it can burn an entire album to CD disk and DVD disk ,...I am assuming that implies "Audio CD" , even though Magix's text description does NOT say : "Audio CD"

to make a quality Audio CD , only use PCM .wav files as source audio . 16 bit 44.1 khz .

short term brain failure, WAV file is not what I want, MP3 file is what I want. Thanks John EB. I have covert to MP3 thru Music Maker but looks like no easy way to burn MP3 on to a CD with out spenting more $$. Thanks fan-boy

Hi

There is no need to spend $$

ImgBurn (free) and Windows Explorer can both burn data discs if that is what you want.

To use Windows Explorer see this article.

I simply export my creations as mp3 or wav to my hard drive, then load (drag) them into i-tunes. Organise the tunes you want into a playlist, then 'burn playlist to disc'.

Should have said, I'm working in Music Maker Premium.

EDIT - having been chastised by Johnebaker below, I'll adapt my reply. Copy the wav file (or files) from the cd to your hard drive - then drag it into an I-player playlist and 'burn playlist to disc'. (I am assuming you have I-player in this solution). You will have a playable cd, but no it won't be a wav file.

Hi

Please re-read the OP's original post - the issue is with a CD not being recognised by a CD player.

A CD burned properly with Speed burn'R should work. I'm not able to try it and haven't done so for a long time, but from what I recall, it worked.

Here is what is in the manual. Note that there are 2 different ways, but you have to have either Plus or Premium giving access to Music Editor:

"To burn an audio CD, first export your project as a WAV file: • Click "File" and select the "Export project -> Audio as wave..." option.  The WAV file created can be burned as an audio CD with the included burn program MAGIX Speed burnR.
Tip: You can use an integrated CD mastering tool in the Live & Premium edition and a burn program to do this. Click on "File" and select the option "Export project -> Burn audio CD-R(W)" to export your project. The project will be loaded into the CD mastering program MAGIX Music Editor and can be burned straight to disc from there."

Music Editor 3 is like Audio Cleaning Lab and Audio & Music Lab in that you create the playlist, give names, etc. ME3 can also be opened as a standalone and you can import wave files and burn them to an audio CD. Just remember, the format on an audio CD is not wave.

while in Music Maker , import .wav files to time line . Right click on a time line audio media to open context menu . -->More Options -->Edit in External Editor . Magix's "Music Editor 3" should open . it has options to burn audio CD . I have not tried it , but it says it can do it . this is with MM25.1.3.84 Premium 2018

you can also find it at :

E:\Program Files (x86)\MAGIX\Music Maker\25\MusicEditor\MusicEditor.exe

you might find it in :

C:\Program Files (x86)\MAGIX\Music Maker\27\MusicEditor\MusicEditor.exe

( if you want to make a Red Book audio CD-ROM disk , same as a store bought Audio CD disk , you need to use : PCM .wav source files at 16 bit 44.1 khz . .Period the end. do NOT use .mp3 )
