WaveBurner: ISRC Code Error when burning disc

  • Last Modified: September 24, 2008

Symptoms

When you burn a disc, WaveBurner displays this alert message:

"The ISRC code entered doesn't conform to the expected format. Please use 12 characters without spaces or separators."

Products Affected

WaveBurner 1.5

Resolution

This message may appear even in some cases where the ISRC codes for all tracks contain 12 characters. The ISRC country code (the first two characters) must be uppercase to meet the ISO 3166 guideline. Also, any alphabetical characters in the Registrant code (characters 3-5 of the overall ISRC code) must be uppercase.

For example frz039800212 will fail, but FRZ039800212 will work. You can find more information on the ISRC specification here.
