	If the above steps worked then we can be pretty sure the problem is your drive. If it failed however, it is probably my fault, so please tell me these two things: Are you on a PowerPC mac or an Intel mac? Did you pitch bend the songs that falied? Did you have "Use Apple Audio Unit for Pitch Bending" pref turned on in the Audio Prefs?		If the above steps worked then we can be pretty sure the problem is your drive.

	Yes it's possible that a CD Burner that can read CD+G media can fail to burn viable discs. This has happened to a number of people. You can tell your drive is simply not compatible if you get the failure message right away. If your drive proceeds thru the burn but later ejects the disc, this indicates you may have burned too fast.		Yes it's possible that a CD Burner that can read CD+G media can fail to burn viable discs. This has happened to a number of people. You can tell your drive is simply not compatible if you get the failure message right away. If your drive proceeds thru the burn but later ejects the disc, this indicates you may have burned too fast.

	Keep in mind that CD+G Discs are a very different breed if disc which requires special physical hardware (like BluRay or HD-DVD, a regular CD player or DVD player is not capable of plaing them). Updating your "driver" can't possibly solve the problem, because the driver is software. If the physical hardware is absent, then the disc simply can never be read, like in the above example, no amount of software can make a blue laser out of a red one.

For more information about that, see this article: [[Not Capable]].

	A CD+G disc is technically also a CD (digital audio) disc, so any music ripper or disc player can read the audio samples. But the +G part is buried between the audio samples, in a different "subchannel" section of the disc not normally read by audio CD rippers. If kJams says your drive is not compatible, then it's not, and you will need a new [[Compatible_Drives\|Compatible Drive]].
