I have just tried the code below to burn all the Ogg files I had in D\:Temp, worked fine. Instead of create object, I added the reference to 'BaydenBurn Library for XPBurn' under 'Project - References'

Option Explicit
Private Brn As XPBurn

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim Path As String
    Set Brn = New XPBurn
    Path = Dir("D:\Temp\*.ogg")
    While Path <> ""
        Brn.AddFile ("D:\Temp\" & Path)
        Path = Dir()
    Wend
    Brn.StartBurn
End Sub

the coding is ok..but the file is just ready to be written...and not currently on the CD ..how to solve this? or maybe my CD-RW is damage..i hv erase all data in it using nero before start the burning process..

Try just copying a file through windows explorer. If that works then your CD is ok and it is a code problem.

The dll XPBurn is only a wrapper to Windows XP's Cd writer. It does nothing more than enable a VB programme to add the files to the XP CD writer list. From then on you have to push the write button as you normally would under XP. For actual CD burning try looking at the VBAccelerator site.
