ASPI
Make sure you have a working ASPI layer!
This techno-speak means that the software that allows your computer to "talk" with scanners and CD-recorders may not be configured correctly or is not up to date!
What can you do? Try these options, ONE at a TIME.
1.Switch the ASPI layer.  (No additional downloads necessary.) In Acoustica MP3 CD Burner, click the Preferences from the File menu.  Click on the "General" tab and toggle the "Use Acoustica ASPI" to be unchecked or checked.  (The opposite of what it was before.) Click OK and you'll have to restart the program.  Hopefully, when you restart MP3 CD Burner, you'll see your CD drives and CD burner!
2. You may need to install another ASPI layer.  We recommend that you re-run the Acoustica MP3 CD Burner installer and on the "Optional ASPI Layer Installation" page, check both ASPI options (Acoustica & Adaptec) and proceed with the installation. You will need to reboot.  If it still doesn't recognize the ASPI layer, try step 1 again.  If do not remember where the installer is, you can download it again here.
