Hi,
The XP way should have worked, but the direct CD will never work because
that CD is written in a special format - i.e, the MP3 files are not in a
format on the CD that can be read, without having the Direct CD client
installed. The Direct CD program puts a file on the disk the size of
the CD, and writes data to the disk in such a way that it can be quickly
deleted and in the case of a CDRW, be written over again, without the
usual limitations of writing to such media directly. However, this type
of format is not compatible with the PTR1.
Andrew.

Robert and George,
Thanks for your responses. Looks like I am pretty clueless here. Did
you
say I have to use software??
On my XP computer, I just put the CD in the drive and dragged and
dropped
the files to it using Windows Explorer. When I clicked "eject", Windows
asked if I wanted to save my files as a music CD or a data CD. I
clicked
"data".
On my Win98 computer, I had similar results, but in that case I ran
"Direct
CD" while dragging and dropping the files with windows explorer.
Are the methods I used only for computer backups? Do I need some
software
for putting files on a CD for use by Plextalk?
Many thanks,
Tom

Dear Robert,
CD-ROM burning software sometimes comes with a quick create function.
This
may include a drag and drop feature, which makes the burning process
look
like just copying to another drive. This is windows specific CDs and may
not
even work from one Windows machine to another. I don't even know why the
heck this feature is put in. I suspect you may have used this.
Try it again and make sure you are doing a CD-ROM for sharing. Select
the
Joliet character and file names, which is probably the default.
Use mode 1 and finalize the CD.
If this does not fix it, I don't know what the problem is.
Best
George
