Hi again,

everything was going soooth until i tried buring a cd using EAC!

i ripped my cd, 'The Prodigy - Their Law', using 'Create image and cuesheet > uncompressed' and got 3 files, a .wav file image, a .cue cuesheet file and a .log EAC output log...all good...

however, when i go 'Write CDR' in EAC, and draw the .cue sheet into it, i get the error 'ISRC string contains illegal characters in line 11' and it wont let me burn...

line 11, is 'ISRC 5@40<543>683', i guess that its the '>' it doesnt like, (line 11 is the ISRC for the 1st track on the cd).

the cd is in 'perfect' condition and the eac log states:

Peak level 100.0 %
Range quality 100.0 %
CRC E905F28E
Copy OK

im buring in secure mode.

has anyone had this b4/know how to correct the errors??
why do i get this error?

thanks for any replys!

Matteo

I would have thought that you could just open it in Notepad and delete all ISRC lines.

I would also uncheck "Retrieve UPC / ISRC codes in CUE sheet generation" in EAC.

cheers once again!

wat do the codes do? if i disable them, wat are the consequences if any??

cheers

cheers!

does that mean it doesnt matter what cd drive, or setting ur using, every different cd will always hav the same isrc number??

does eac not support burning with isrc numbers?

if i was to upgrade my wrtier in the future would i still get the same numbers??

thanks

Matteo

Did you follow the link jcoalson provided?

The ISRC code (not number) is constant for a given CD, because it is data physically present on the CD. EAC can read and write ISRCs, but the drive must support both functions. Yours obviously doesn't read ISRC properly, therefore you need to disable retrieving ISRC codes as Synthetic Soul suggested.

You could buy a drive that reads and writes IRSC properly, but I wouldn't bother. The data is of little interest to the general user, and its presence or abscence has no effect on the audio.

edit: unnecessary quote deleted

It appears to only be useful for differentiating between two versions of the same CD, were your collection to consist of such things.

cheers for all ur replies! ive been on a course, lol, all day! so havent been able to reply!

thanks again!
