Burning engine is not the best in MediaMonkey 5. My buds older cd player can't read MM5 burnt discs. So I tried to slow down burn speed, but apparently that option is not available in MM5. Also when writing CD Text, the disc name takes the album name of the first track. That disc name shows up on every track when CD text is shown, for example in a car. My wife pointed that out. Another burner (can I say the name?), I use just reports "Audio Disc". I can slow that software down to 4X speed and burnt disc will work on buds old cd player.

Unfortunately CD-Text only supports Album per Disc not per Track.

Please add this feature back (burning MP3 files as data to a CD or DVD). I like to randomize a disk, or copy a book on CD and then transfer it to a CD.
Sure, most folks use all digital, but I have a CD MP3 player in both my car and and house. Having disks is great and makes a permanent copy of my playlists.

Ditto, please add this feature back. All these years paying for "Gold" or "Lifetime" licenses...
I can't believe something so basic and "old school" isn't included in this "Rube Goldberg" version of MediaMonkey.

Hey everyone,

I recently started exploring CD burning in MediaMonkey 5 and wanted to share a bit of my experience.

So far, the process has been quite smooth — I really like how MM5 handles playlists and burns them straight to disc without too much hassle. One thing I noticed, though, is that sometimes the buffer underrun protection can be a lifesaver if you're multitasking while burning.

I'm curious — do any of you have tips for optimizing the burn quality or preferred settings (like burn speed or disc types) when using MM5?

Looking forward to learning from you all!

Cheers!
