Does anyone use Burrrn? I'm having problems

[sdsumike619]

I'd like to use Burrrn because it's such a small and lightweight program. However, whenever I try to drag and drop a WAV file into the list, nothing happens at all. Am I doing something wrong?

Maybe that's why it's such a "small and lightweight program."

hahaha

what are you expecting to happen?

[sdsumike619]

well I was expecting to see the wav file appear in the list to be burned......

[piano632]

I just tried it and it worked for me. Are you sure it's a 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV file?

[sdsumike619]

It's funny you posted that because I just discovered that my files are all 1 channel mono and they of course need to be 2 channel stereo for CD audio. That's probably why...

Is there a tool that I can use to batch convert all these files at once to two channel stereo?

[piano632]

Well, that would explain it then. I don't know of any batch converters, but some burning programs will accept the mono files as-is and convert them on-the-fly during burning. Obviously Burrrn does not, but some others should. I know Feurio does this; Nero might also.

[sdsumike619]

I'd rather just get them converted once so it doesn't have to do it each time I burn.. All that time adds up =(
I got this besweet program but the batch thing doesn't seem to work!

Forget Burrrrn Learn some basic Avisynth, and
get used to the great command-line driven cdrtools

don't have time to learn command line tools, I need to get it done... Going to tinker with this besweet app

Hey,

a bit of time has elapsed since the last post in this thread...
Anyway: You might use foobar2000's "convert" feature. Load the files, activate them, right click, choose "convert" from the context menu, then "...", specify output location, go to "Processing" tab, tick "DSP", choose "convert mono to stereo" from the list on the right, OK everything - and wait a few minutes...

I can't believe what some you guys are saying. Burrrn does absolutely nothing. Windows XP or Windows Vista, I drag and drop a WAV file that Pro Tools has bounced as a 16-bit 44.1kHz Stereo Interleaved WAV file and Burrrn just sits there and does nothing whatsoever.

Same thing if I click the Add button and choose the file. File is on the same disk as the program, I am administrator, this is the latest version 1.14 (as of this writing).

It's junk.

I've installed CDBurnerXP and Droppix (on the XP machine) and they both add and burn these files without a problem.

Maybe you folks have an earlier version, before it was completely broken beyond any semblance of usability.

I like Burrrn!

[Arythmael]

I like Burrrn!

What version are you running, and what operating system?

[morgan.freeman]

I have a friend with a similar problem; Burrrn not being able to work with wave-files.

However, this is only true for wave-files generated by Windows Media Player (10 or something). Wave's exported from Audacity works like a charm. I suspect some kind of Gates-tyranny in the file header on wmp-wav's(?).
As a work around it is possible to open the wmp-waves in Audacity and then export as wave - and these files work too (of course).

So I would think this is as much a micro$oft-flaw as it is a flaw in Burrrn (and yes, there are so many other applications out there but I happen to like Burrrn for its simplicity AND the option to burn audio-cd's directly from compressed formats, FLAC in particular, without having to de-compress and de-code anything manually)

CDBurnerXP might work.

[morgan.freeman]

Thank you Bix, this CDBurnerXP certainly looks promising!
