Full Version: "CD Writing Failed"

I am running Foobar v07.7b on WinXP. I have Nero 6 installed as well. When I try to Write Audio CD, processing will start. Foobar will prepare the first several mp3s before skipping the remainder, at which point I get the "CD Writing Failed" message. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks

It looks like you don't have enough space in your temporary files folder (by default, it is located in your system partition).

Free up some space and try again.

I have the same problem. I tried setting the "Save file to" path to a very large drive, and it still didn't work.

Not sure what to do. Maybe the plugin defaults to "C:\" as a temp storage, for when you're burning directly to a CD, instead of using what's in the "Save file to" path?

It defaults to your current temporary directory, as set by the TMP environment variable. This is usually %userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp.

You can temporarily change this by opening a cmd.exe prompt, like so:

CODE
set tmp=f:\blah
c:\path\to\foobar2000.exe

Yep, the temp file was the problem, I have it on it's own small partition, and I changed to a larger one.

thanks
