When I try to burn a music CD on my HP 8200 CD writer, using HP
Adeptic software, I get a message "No music files on this computer" 
If I drag a music file to Adeptic, it refuses to accept it. 
My music files are in wave format, why is it that Adeptic will not
accept them.  According to the help menu, Wave is an acceptable file
format for burning a CD.  Go ahead and expose my ignorance.  It's
worth $2 to get egg on my face :)

Clarification of Question by tibiaron-ga on 22 Jan 2005 07:33 PST

Thanks pinkfreud for your input.  As it turns out, I applied the egg
to my own face.  An HP diagnostic gave me the following answer:

MP3 and WAV files must be recorded as 16-bit stereo files using a
44.1KHz sampling rate.

My files were 8 bit.  Live and learn.  Question closed.

I wonder if this might help:

"I am in the process of attempting to create CD's from Wav. I use the
Adaptec Easy CD creator. I line up all the songs, click on 'create CD'
but the program starts to burn the CD then stops. Maybe the rate of
transfer is too slow? I even went through the Test phase first. Same
problem. Any suggestions? or is there any other CD creation software
out there you may recommend?

I had that problem. It always froze in the same spot. I eliminated the
problem by always disconnecting my USB printer when I was cutting
CD's. I just pulled the USB connection from the back of the printer
until I was finished."

My old Adaptec Easy CD Creator also froze. On further investigation I
found that It wasn't compattible with WinXp. No problems with Nero.
