Hi Andy,
have you got a fairly up-to-date Roberts from Wireless For The Blind?
They'd do the job. Pity for you they haven't got a alarm clock facility
though.
Best,
Clive

Clive - it would appear, according to Tristram, that I am wrong, that
very few support the playing of mp3, which is a bit of a bugger really,
especially when it comes to bedside clock radios. I know there's now
loads of other ways to access mp3 files, but my partner particularly
bought this new radio/player, so as not to fiddle about with docking
stations when half asleep <smile> -

Hello,
the true answer is that some players will and some players won't
(and that's all there is to it, Piglet - Smile). So, the best way
forward may be to burn a test CD full of MP3's, and try it in the CD
players you own, and see which ones work, and which will have nothing to
do with the disk contents. I think you are right though. More and more
CD players will play disks comprised of mp3 audio files, as well as the
standard audio CD format cda files.
Regards,
Clive

Hi John - Yes, I want to keep the files in the mp3 format, so I
can get an entire book on a single cd, so are you saying if I do that, I
can not play them in any CD machines, that I can only play them on a
computer or a DVD player? I'd have thought these days that standard cd
players would be able to handle mp3 files on a CDr? -

Hi Andy, cd players won't play data disks. If you want
the files as mp3 then burning as data will do fine.

Hi John -
Thanks. Yes, I understand this I think, but I
thought most standard cd players these days, were capable of playing
data discs? Am I wrong about that? I'm actually wanting to burn audio
books in mp3 format, on to a single cd, for bedtime reading. I don't
really want to convert them to CDA format, thus producing loads of cds
per book -
Andy

Andy, it sounds to me as though you're
burning as data instead of audio. If you burn mp3's to cd using data
they'll remain mp3, in which case the cd will play on a pc, or mp3
player, but not on a cd player. For a cd to play on a cd player it must
be burned as an audio cd, and the mp3 files will be converted before
burning.
John.

Hi Ibrahim -
Thanks for trying to help. I am actually
using CDR discs, and not CDRW ones. The disc play in other machines,
such as our dvd recorder, and my old PTR1.
Is there a difference between cdr and
minus cdr discs? The clock radio says it supports minus cdr -

Hi Andy.
Thanks for your email, sorry its taken
me a while to get back to you but I've simply been overwhelmed with
emails today.
OK, from what you're describing, you
appear to be doing everything correctly and the disks you are creating
should not be UDF formatted disks. Its possible that your CD clock
radio isn't able to read from the disks for another reason. Try
following the same procedure as outlined in your message but using a
blank CD recordable disks. OK, you will be limited to using this once,
however if it works then you may need to change brand of CDRW disks
which may be causing the CD player problems as some devices cant play
certain brands of disks.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim -
When I insert a disc, the "burn a disc"
wizard opens, and I am offered today's date as a name for the disc
[obviously I can choose to change this] then when I hit tab, it says:
"prepare this blank disc" choose file format, where the choices are live
file system, and mastered. I always choose mastered, because it says
they are playable on all computers, and in some CD players, where as the
live format says the disc will be like a USB flash drive, where files
can be added and erased.
So, how can I get round this? If when I
insert a blank disc, it's properties says the file format is UDF, then
is it possible to change this to a format that cd players can play.
Surely, when it says a clock radio can play CDR and CDRW discs, it
should also say, as long as the discs haven't been written using a
burner that uses UDF as it's formatting! -
Andy

Hi Andy.
UDF isn't supported on most mp3
compatible CD players, it has to be a direct write I'm afraid. Make
sure the option to use the disk as a flash drive is not selected as this
creates a UDF formatted disk.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] Burning discs to
play in a CD player
Hi all -
I have no problem using the built-in
burn facility on this Vista laptop, to create mp3 discs, that then play
in various external machines. However, my partner has a Pure digital
radio/cd player, that she only bought this week, that claims to play cdr
and cdrw discs, actually, it said minus cdr [I'm not sure what the
difference is on that one], but each time I burn a disc and try to play
it in her machine, it says "format not supported." The DVDRW drive on my
laptop uses UDF, but I wouldn't have thought this would be an issue with
today's players?
Anybody help me out please? -
Andy
