Old bog standard media, Nero 8 and a different burner - that audio CD plays on a car stereo. A good test but teasing out the troublesome vector is going to take time. Could be any one of the three.

Nero 8 does not label the tracks any more informative than 1, 2 ,3 etc. So short Track descriptions regardless. And just to compound the permutations - the printable blanks are a new batch. And because Nero 7 refuses MP3 I tried Win 7 native burner (reports not in yet). More variables! Nero8 handles MP3 as CD audio, so does Win Media Player (Burning).

It may seem luddite to persevere with legacy apps, but the uncertainty of the potential for loading the directory structure is a case in point. I have to cater for everyone's equipment out there. So I have written code to copy & re-number files that can be moved to any machine and know what order they should be in. Removing ID3 TAGs is easy in Win Explorer as a batch - they are there because there are 1800 audio tracks now (numbered). You can imagine the confusion, even though I have a database and the on-line search engine. I print the track descriptions anyway as part of the package.

FWIW Nero have a supa dupa Platinum version priced at only the equivalent of 20 cups of coffee. But you can't buy it, you rent it, per year! And it would still cause me headaches. So would the coffee !
