When I try to drag and burn songs from my folder I now get a message "Unrecognized file extension. Valid extensions are:.".We did recently re-install Java and never had a problem before...

Try to update your burner program. Otherwise tell us which program it is & what the file types are.

the only burner update is like $70.00 and everything was great until I had to re-install Java. My Limeware library was completely cleared and now my Roxio Easy CD Burner 5 will not accept any of my songs. After downloading I move all music to my folder and then load my burner from that folder. Songs range from Napster to Kaaza to Limewire but none will load. Limewire was also unavailable while Java was out and then the problem started so I don't know if it's a burner thing or a Limewire thing. This is my first forum and I appreciate any suggestions....

What are you trying to stuff up roxio's nose baby? Are you sure you're not trying to burn playlists rather than the actual audio files? There are updates for windows roxio if you checked. Unless you're already updated. Just drag & drop the actual songs onto roxio & it should do the deed! Make sure you choose audio cd unless you really want to burn an mp3 disk. See Burning an audio CD from your MP3's And try burning at minimum speed instead of max speed!!!

Oh are you sure they are mp3 & not that crappy wma other format.

OK, I can't even query Roxio because I have the basic burner and they will not respond unless I buy the upgrade....going thru the automated systems does nothing. The songs are mp3 and the burner will not accept any of them. When I try to drag a title I get the "illegal extension" message and it blocks the song. What I don't understand is that I have been using the burner for at least a year and never had a problem...appreciate any suggestions...
