Jamie - If I can try and make it simple :] The blank CD is a data CD, the files I burn to it are MP3, so I'm creating a data CD of MP3 files; I've done this loads of times with different burning software. My query is why with this particular software [Express burn] when the burn begins, does it tell me it is writing "the data iso cd?" What is 'iso' and because it mentions it, does it mean the disc burning is different to when in the past I have used Easy CD Creater to burn discs? Am I being clear? <smile>Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamie Cuthbertson" <jamie.cuthbertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2007 3:50 PM Subject: RE: PTN1 and PTR2 upgrade Andy, Yes, I believe that MP3 files are data files but I also think that .WAV files are as well. On a Music CD - and I mean one that has been formatted as a Music CD rather than a data CD which happens to have .WAV files on it, I think that the files become .CDA files even if they started life as .WAV files. Happy to be told I'm wrong on this one as well! (Smile) I'm not sure if I'm picking you up correctly or not but I guess that the burning software sees that the contents of this particular CD (within the ISO image file) contains data files whereas, if you created an ISO image file of a Music CD, it might then say "Music ISO" rather than "Data ISO"? Just a guess.

After the disk has burned, the PTR1 sees it as an mp3 cd, which is correct, so I just wonder why the burning software announces "writing data iso CD." - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamie Cuthbertson" <jamie.cuthbertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 9:56 PM Subject: RE: PTN1 and PTR2 upgrade Andy, Not sure about Data ISO file but, in general, my understanding is that an ISO file is an image of the whole contents of a CD, regardless of the types of files included in the image. A data CD, however, is specifically a CD that contains files structured in a standard file storage style as against other formats like music CD's etc. Don't know if this answers your question or not.

Anybody say what this is about?
