Dear Linda, I only copied fifteen songs, approximately five from each cd. The total time was fifty minutes. But it would not transfer back to a music cd. My question: if I only wanted 15 songs. if the time is only 50 minutes. Why doesn't it dump back to a music cd. Okay, I found out that the material was slightly larger than the amount that a music cd can hold. but my question is: why is that so? It's just little musical selections like one might record in her living room. Well, I guess I have to do it another way; play them on a cd recorder and drop them one at a time onto a cd. That's the only way I can see to do it. Well, I'll stop bothering the list with it. Thanks for all help as you scratch your heads along with me.
