i would appreciate any help on this matter thank you

I think there is something wrong with the tracks you have provided. Probably they are not in the correct format or not in the directory. Check for permissions also.

Also try reducing the speed to something like 16x or 8x (probably because your cd doesnt support high speed writing)

hello its me again master thats a joke aint it ok what i have done now is iv checked the permisions they are fine now i typed "cdrecord -pad speed=24 dev=0,0,0 -audio *.wav
you will notice this time i have told it what speed to use, the error message i get still seems to be the same [root@master wav]# cdrecord -pad speed=24 dev=0,0,0 -audio *.wav

[root@master wav]#
now why is it that if you look at the feedback it says Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 52
if iv told it to use 24 im just stabing in the dark any more help appreciated thanks for your help seidren

oops sorry thought i would just say i did check they were all in the wav format

GOD!!! This is really weird. (I wasnt joking ;))
The only final reason I can come up with for this to happen is that the cd is screwed up. Try a new cd if you can. (Are you using a CD-RW?)

I also noticed this

Quote:

cdrecord: Drive needs to reload the media to return to proper status.

Only put the cd in just before you run cdrecord.

Also check if you are running the program Autorun.
Do a

Code:

ps -A x

then from the output find the pid of Autorun, and kill it.

Code:

kill -9 <pid>

Then run cdrecord.

If you still get the problem. I would gladly suggest you to give a try with K3B.
Its the best cdwriting frontend ever.

Let me know of your progress

hello me again ok i opend a terminal and typed
ps -A x
the feedback i got was
ps -A x

now i can only see the 1 autorun there on line 2301 so i then typed
kill -2301 <pid>
the feed back was
ash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
allso im using cdr not w ihave tried using a different cd but i get the same error

no no you are supposed to type...

kill -9 2301

-9 is the signal and 2301 is the process id.
