| 1486749 | 2022-06-08 06:58:00 | Sorry, I have some queries re burning to - CD-R (not a CD-RW) 1. When can you give the CD-R a name? Is it only before the burn takes place & if the CD-R is blank? 2. Will only a finalised CD-R play on a CD player (if it is an audio CD-R) 3. Can you hide / delete / add files on a finalised CD-R? 4. Is there any way of knowing whether a data or audio CD-R been created? 5. How do you see everything that has been saved on a CD-R including any hidden files? |

| 1486752 | 2022-06-08 22:03:00 | 7) Why the questions about a obsolete storage media ? its just not that simple . Too many factors with differing Media types, player/recorder capability & recording type/format To answer all your questions . Dont use CDR . :) 1) It depends . Depends on how its being recorded . 2) audio CDR's wont play on SOME audio CD Players . Usually the EU Philips based CD Audio Players that could have issues . I had that with (some) Marantz, Philips, Blaupunkt players . Usually not an issue though 2 ) part 2) there is also "AUDIO CDR Disks" . Its a completely different thing . These are for a few Hifi CD Recorders . In the EU, there was a fuss about piracy & copying Audio CD's on HIFI equipment So it was decided that Hifi Audio CD Recorders could ONLY use special "Audio CDR" . These AUDIO CDR were alot more expensive , and quite hard to get (the extra cost supposed to into a fund to pay royalties to musicians) Also , the HIFI CD Recorders could not use a digital input for the recording . That was intended to stop the recorded CD being a perfect copy . Just some useless history . 3) nope 4) yes 5) depends on how it was recorded , what file format & what it was recorded with , and if the player can even read CDRs (some couldnt) 6) Are you questions leading up to some spamming ? |

| 1486754 | 2022-06-09 02:12:00 | Why not? the same reasons that you wouldnt use 5" floppies or Zip Drives or Win95 or Seagate Bigfoots Yes, all those are usuable , doesnt make them a good choice . Its 2022 after all. If he was specifically wanting to burn audio CD's , then thats a different story . update computerhelpforums.com |

| 1486755 | 2022-06-09 02:59:00 | Funny, I still use CD-Rs a lot, actually. Both for data and audio. And I play with Windows 95 occasionally, and I've got a 386 with a Bigfoot in it... |
