| 220635 | 2004-03-06 14:16:00 | I am running Win XP which I understand can copy files directly onto CDs in my CD burner. I also run Nero burning software. Do I still need InCD? Should I get rid of it. Do they both use the same format and are these CDs readable by any CD player? A few questions in one. | bpt1 (419) | ||
| 220636 | 2004-03-06 17:25:00 | incd is only useful for cdrw disks which very few people seem to use now most use cdr.........as for are they readable by any cd player you mean can you play music cd's written on the puter ........yes...............IF you have written them in 'audio' format ......NOT data....... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 220637 | 2004-03-06 17:39:00 | Ditch InCD because you don't need something hogging resources. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 220638 | 2004-03-06 21:24:00 | Why ditch it? I removed it from startup and only open it when using Cdrw. How can that hog resources? Bye |

| 220639 | 2004-03-07 01:48:00 | Thanks for your replies, but I was perhaps not clear enough with my questions. Can WinXP write to CDRWs, ie use a CDRW disk like a floppy? Does it use the same format as InCD? Are these CDRWs then be readable on another computer with a CD burner? I found that I could not delete files (on a CDRW) written on one computer by burning software on another? When is a CDRW disk no treadabel by a CD ROM? | bpt1 (419) | ||
| 220640 | 2004-03-07 02:04:00 | Can't comment on XP, but using Incd & formatting the Cdrw, yes, they can be read by a Cdr on another computer - just like a floppy, but I don't really trust them. Far better to use a Cdr & close the session. Bye |

| 220642 | 2004-03-07 15:25:00 | XP writes to a CD so you don't need InCD and it also trashes CD's | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 220643 | 2004-03-07 20:27:00 | InCD and it also trashes CD's???? Please explain a bit more - in my experience it doesn't - maybe if mis-used. Bye |

| 220644 | 2004-03-07 21:50:00 | I think the meaning was that InCD can be troublesome on some systems, and I can second that opinion. I would never use it or recommend it, as I have witnessed too many disasters caused by loss of data assumed to be safe. Also as the packet writing format used with InCD and DirectCD is different to normal, the CDs cannot be read on a system not using a packet writing application. XP buily in support does not "write directly" to the CD though, it caches the files for writing in the normal manner. This allows the use of CD-R, which are largely more reliable and portable than CD-RW. |
