Nope - it's the OS/device that attempts to read to CD. An OS cannot mount/recognise data unless it is formatted in a file-system it recognises. Devices such as mp3 players will not play/misread CDs that do not contain mp3 data.

But you can burn anything you like to a CD.

329638 2005-03-02 03:16:00 Wouldn't it be easier to use CD-RW and when you want to add more to the session, simply erase the existing compilation and add more to the project and reburn?

Lo.

329640 2005-03-02 03:18:00 Should we all repeat it again?

mp3=data.

When you author an audio cd with nero it merely converts it to a complaint wave file, which is still data, It doesn't make cda such as whats on a commerceil cd.

When you burn an mp3 disk you burn as data, when you burn an audio it burns it as wav, still data, but uncompressed.

To the thread starter, rip the songs as a wav, burn as data.

I can't imagine it working if your trying to drag a cda file off a disc (cda is not the actuall file,just what represents it)

329641 2005-03-02 03:20:00 Lohsing: I think you'll find CD players are mostly very choosy as to what media (CD, CD-R & CD-RW) they'll play ¬_¬ Edward (31)
329642 2005-03-02 03:21:00 As a summary of what people have said above and from my experience (I use Nero myself), If you are burning a CD as data you can use multisession to add mp3s and this will play fine on mp3 players but if you burn the disk as "audio" then it converts the mp3s into wav/cda whatever and you have to finalise the disk in order for it to play on normal CD players.

So if you want to use this disk on a normal CD player (which doesn't have mp3 capability) you need to burn as audio and therefore can not multisession, but if your CD player does have mp3 capability then you would burn the disk as a data disk and then you can multisession it.

329643 2005-03-02 03:22:00 Powerslave thanks when you say "To the thread starter, rip the songs as a wav, burn as data." are you telling me that if that's done they'll play in any cd player.........car stereo/walkman etc ? ........sorry I cant test this myself cause the only cd player I have is my pc :-) drcspy (146)

I know u can burn anything to CD. It wouldnt be worth having a burner if u couldnt would it. I didnt say it couldnt.

Fomatting a cd has nothing to do with it, as Mp3's and Audio cds dont need formatting to write to Vinref. Once u add whatever it burns to the cd as is.

Well no it isnt the OS that decides, but u need the OS for Nero to work dont u?? Without a OS u have nothing. U have a blank screen. A dead computer system.

Where did the Mp3 player into this?? Was it passing by and just dropped into the convo? I was talking about a cd player that plays MP3 cd's.

Go back to bed Vinref.
