BURNING A CD TO PLAY IN MY JEEP

Let's just say when I'm driving down the road, I like to listen to good tunes just like everyone else. I have an Ipod that lives with me. Such a great thing. I don't think honestly that I could live without it now that I actually broke down and bought one.

Well, to be honest, I don't want to put headphones on while driving, One it's illegal in most states, and two I like to blare my tunes. Windows open or closed, it doesn't matter to me.

I started this quest about 1.5 days ago. I thought about burning a cd. I have limewire and all my tunes are ripped right onto my pod. My friend burns them for me every once in a while and we jam out on the way to the bar. It's always a new one when he gets in.

I compiled a list of good stuff. Mostly techno and juggalo junk, thru it into windows media player and poof the CD was created. Or so I thought. i was excited. I was hanging out with a friend and wanted to set the mood for the pre flight to the bar and wouldn't you know. NOTHING. My stupid radio said error. Man, what a bummer that was.

I went over my friends yesterday and said, " man you gotta do this for me asap. burn this CD list for me, I can't get it to work for shit on my computer, I watched what he was doing and followed everything else from there when I got home. STILL this error message began to haunt me. The funny thing about it is that I am pretty much a computer expert on things like this. I can take a PC apart, repair it, upgrade it, and throw it back together pretty much in one hour.

I said screw WMP ( windows media player ) and downloaded NERO did the same thing, popped in a new CD and after about 2 hours of downloading NERO the CD burning took about 20 minutes and i was ready to test it in the jeep. I went out to get a pack of smokes and popped it in, LOW AND BEHOLD this error message won't leave me alone.

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD THAT IS MORE ANNOYING THEN REPEATING THE SAME MISTAKES WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU WENT WRONG. I tossed this CD right out the window at 30 miles and hour, cussed it for a few seconds as it whizzed across someone's front yard. Man are they going to have some great music if they can get it to play in the car. It works in the PC. However I can't strap my SPECIAL NEEDS DELL COMPUTER in my jeep. It might CURSE my ride.

The worst thing in the world that I ever did was buy this crappy dell computer. I miss my old E-machines. Those babies are the best computer in the world.

So i dig out a CDRW from somewhere, dust it off and pop in a fresh baby since the last one might have been spotted and identified as a UFO as it left my Jeep so fast.

Everything is loaded on Itunes remember, since I have an Ipod and I know it plays good there, so I'm going to burn this last and final CD from there and pray to all that is holy that it works for the ride into work.

The only thing that i can think of at this point is that either I got a bad batch of CD's which I seriously doubt, Or I was lied to when my dvd-rw drive DOESN'T burn CD's. Which I know some do and some don't. If that is the case then I will just have to beat the fuck out of my computer and build one myself where I know exactly what it does and doesn't do.

I mean I already had to replace the hard drive in the thing MYSELF b/c STEVE JOHNSTON from Dell through his INSANELY thick INDIAN accent told me that it didn't work when I woke up one day and it said some crazy ass error that I knew the hdd had crashed during the night, However I had to go through 99.5 steps for him to tell me that. However rest assured that they would be sending a technician out immediately to replace it. Well 6 months later I'm still waiting for him to show up. Good thing I went out THAT day and bought one myself and through it in there.

So Itunes just finished burning this CD, but it's 2:11 am and i'm NOT going out to my Jeep to test it... It's raining outside and it's cold. Well wish me luck in the AM.


****** UPDATE ******

I couldn't wait, I broke down and went outside in the freezing cold, in my boxers and t-shirt popped that baby in there and guess what... ERROR I almost had an anyurism on the spot. I'm convinced now that this stupid ass cd is cursed. I will be taking out my cdrw burner from my old gateway that is still next to my old computer, and I will be hooking it up tonight, burning the cd and will placing it in my lovely Jeep radio tomorrow with confidence, b/c I know there is no fucking way it won't work.
