Anyway. he bought an mp3 cd player. and the cds he makes do not work. the mp3 cd i make do work because they are in iso9660 format. and his are in some dumb mac hybrid or something format. does any one do macs and know how to make iso9660/joulette cd? is that the problem?	fus1_n (3818)

243133	2004-06-09 12:26:00	He needs to have a closer look in i-tunes preferences There is an option to select burn as Audio CD or MP3 CD Use a CD-R disc and not a CDRW	Jim B (153)

I have used iTunes to produce CDs for MP3 players in the past, so your friend is obviously doing something wrong.	Alasta (1420)

It's just not ISO9660. It was designed before ISO9660. I'd bet that the Mac can read a ISO 9660 CD produced on a PC. A Linux machine can read an Apple HFS disk, and a number of other formats, including ISO9660. The Mac can probably produce an ISO9660 disk, but not by drag and drop. It's "entitled" to assume that a drag and drop is for use on Mac systems.	Graham L (2)
