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! -

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.

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
