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! -

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
