Subject: Tech: home cd longevity
Hi all
I work with a small group of musicians and in order to make home practice easier I record the music onto a minidisc then download thru Audacity and burn it to a re-writable cd. The intention being to have 2 discs per player, one a working disc and the other ready to record extra music by formatting the spare disc and then re-recording all the practice pieces including newer tunes.The problem is that they don't seem to last very long before they become unplayable. Is this a known problem with home recorded cd's and if so can anything be done to improve the situation? I am not sure whether the other players have cd recording facilities or the nohow to burn my cd's and then re-format and record I will check but I know at least one player hasn't got the facilities.
