Well, I went through about the same hassle trying to burn a mixed-mode CD of this album to send off to my duplicator as a master.
See, I'd like to have one of those cool CD's that will play in your car or your boom box, and if you put it into your computer, it will open up and have files. Way cool. That's called a "Mixed Mode" CD. I contacted the duplicator a couple of weeks ago, and they assured me that if I supplied them with an effective MM master, they'd be able to dupe it and all my CD's would have the cool files section.
But I had a mess of a time trying to find CD burning software that would handle MM burning. I downloaded and tried three different softwares, all of which claimed to do it. Only the third one did. It's called "Burning Mill". Not only did it successfully handle it, but it was intuitive and easy. The first software I tried was not only complex, but ultimately unsuccessful. I went through about 5 blank CD's before I figured out that it wasn't going to work.
I think that I've probably burned and thrown away about a dozen blank CD's in the attempt to get this one keeper master. Yeesh.
