1474866 2021-02-03 20:25:00 I bought a cassette-to-mp3 converter.

It came with software on a mini compact CD (c8cm diameter). How do I read the supplied mini CD/DVD on the normal (12 cm) sized CD/DVD reader on my computer? I need the DRIVER software.

I tried just plugging the Digitech into my PC but it doesn't recognize it.

Thanks in advance

If vertically mounted, then you may have to tilt the case a bit to get the CD to stay put until the tray is closed, at which point the spindle will be holding it. Be ready to catch the disc when you eject...

Some of the USB wifi dongles came with mini CD's for drivers, I never had an issue reading them on the various PC DVD drives I tried .

unless : theres something wrong with that mini disk, or some issue with you DVD drive , or that disk is some weird non standard format (unlikely)
