Thanks PJ ps Sweep, please ignore this request for help on this Help Forum. It seems to bother you when I do. Thankyou. pj	Poppa John (284)
543446	2007-04-23 05:56:00	You will if you burn a multi session CD, poppa john. What CD burning software package are you using?	winmacguy (3367)
543447	2007-04-23 05:59:00	Normally u rip a cd to make them into MP3's. Then burn them back to cd either as an MP3 cd or an Audio CD. Usually u cant copy music (depending on what youre using), since its copy protected. I cant remember if u use Nero (dont think u can do it with Windows itself) whether it gives u the multisession option. If it does this is what u tick, if u want to add to it later. This also applies to data disks/cd's.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
543448	2007-04-23 06:02:00	I think I use Nero on my old PC which gives a multi session option. How many songs are you wanting to put onto the CD PJ ? Make sure that they were originally ripped at a decent bitrate no lower than 128kbps. I rip all my stuff at 192 kbps .AAC format. Generally the higher the bit rate the better the sound quality.	winmacguy (3367)
543449	2007-04-23 07:20:00	Usually u cant copy music (depending on what youre using), since its copy protected. I haven't come across any music that can't be copied. How many songs are you wanting to put onto the CD PJ ? Just incase you didn't know, A CD is limited to the length of music(time)not the amount(mb) it takes up on a cd	plod (107)
543450	2007-04-23 07:21:00	After burning with Nero, you re insert the CD and one of the options is to continue adding data to that CD (multi session). I think XP's own CD burning software has a crude version of this, as I seem to remember doing multi session data CD's in XP, before I had Nero [EDIT] @Plod - If you sellect "data CD" when burning in Nero then the CD is mb limited instead of minute limited...however I don't think a data CD will play on a stero or in a car...it's just the easiest way to store music.

Just incase you didn't know, A CD is limited to the length of music(time)not the amount(mb) it takes up on a cd Thanks plod. I was mainly asking as I have seen some CDs burned with a large number of mp3 songs on them and the most I have come across on a standard CD is 18 I think. I was mostly asking in case PJ was only going to burn 10 or less songs onto CD in the first session which would still leave room for more songs.	winmacguy (3367)

When PJ asked about CD, I can only presume he is talking about a compact disc and not a cdrom. Compact disc's( which music cd's are) are limited by time. 70 or 80 minutes. Not sure which one. I do not think a multisession disc will work on a CD player unless it has been finalised. it may work on a mp3 player	plod (107)
543453	2007-04-23 07:34:00	I guess he can always find out. I don't burn to many music CDs myself since I mostly use my iPod so I can change my play lists as often as needed.	winmacguy (3367)
543454	2007-04-23 08:54:00	what do I do to be able to record more onto it at a later date? If it's recorded in .cda format instead of .mp3 then you CANT add any music later.....if you have burnt ONE song on to a cd that's all you can EVER have.......cd players which play .cda cd's are NOT designed to play 'multisession' cd's when they are not 'finalised'.......just cant be done.........	drcspy (146)
