Subj: RE: [kl] CD Recording - vaguely OT

I took my CD over to the AV center and it played with no difficulty, so,
not daunted, I brought it back in installed it in one CD drive after
another. It might be that yesterday I tried too quickly to control it with
Windows Explorer and my computer may have balked. Today it played on both
my Windows 98 and Windows 2000 computers. It did not play from my CD-RW
drive possibly because the drive was an add-on and it might not have been
connected to an audio-in path.

As for Ian's problem, I'd certainly check into the possibility of
microphone feedback. Even though you might not be getting a feedback
whistle, the "bit leakage" you describe sounds suspiciously like having the
microphone on as you are feeding audio through the line-in and the speakers
are playing what you are feeding in (and the microphone is picking up the
sound from the speakers and feeding the signal back in). If this is the
problem, wear earphones during your recording session.

If that isn't the problem, tell us how long the delay seems to be between
the real music and the ghost image.At 09:59 PM 10/20/03 +0100, you wrote:
