Andy,

Having just consumed the best part of a bottle of wine, I'd love to know
what this dreadful condition called "sanity" is?!!  It sounds horrible!!

Thanks Jamie - Madness is a gift we all have from time-to-time it allows us
to see things differently from our usual conditioned idea of sanity :] -

Andy,

Ah haaaaaa!!!  Perhaps I'm not quite as mad as I thought I was!! (Smile)

It was the jump of topic that had thrown me and hence my rather dottery
replies!

I can only guess that the reason that your software says "data ISO CD" is
because it is creating a data CD that conforms to the ISO standards.  I
think that ISO stands for something like "International Standards
Organisation" so it might be as simple as that but I can't give you a
definitive answer.

Glad that I've finally found out that I'm not quite as mad as it might have
appeared!! (Smile)

Cheers,

Jamie

Jamie - I came in on this thread because people were talking about Iso
files, but no, I'm not referring to the upgrade for the PTR2, but talking in

a general way about burning files; I had asked on the Access-UK list, but
nobody got back to me, that's why I pursued it here.

It isn't making sense to me as to why my burning software talks about
"writing the data iso cd" when all I've done is to have used Goldwave to
create a bunch of MP3 files to burn to disc. When I use the Windows burning
software, the files just get burnt to disc, and there is no mention of any
iso files, but when I use my preferred burning software [Express Burn],
placing the folder of MP3 tracks in the burn list, then click on burn, I get

that message about writing the data iso cd. Although the end result in both
cases seems to be the same, in that whether the discs has been burnt using
the Windows software or Express Burn, they play in all players, including my

PTR1, I still would like to understand why Express Burn mentions writing
data iso, instead of just burning the mp3 tracks as normal.

Sorry if I'm right off topic now for this list, but it just started when
listers were mentioning the iso file for the upgrade, and I thought I'd jump

in to try and understand what was going on for me with my burning
experience.
- Andy

Andy,

You know, I think that I must be really thick (well I know that already,
smile) because I'm not sure if you are still talking about the use of the
ISO image file for creating the upgrade CD for the PTR2 or if you are
talking about burning MP3 files to a CD as something unrelated to the
upgrade process?

Creating a CD of MP3 files is not the same as using an ISO image file to
create a finished disc.  Most burning softwares will do this in a different
way from the standard burning process.  It's not the same as simply burning
the ISO image file onto the CD, the process actually uses the ISO image file
to lay down the structure of the whole of the finished CD.

An ISO image file is like a picture of the whole disc structure in a single
file.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Jamie

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

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.

Jamie

Jamie - Aren't MP3 files just data files, they're not music files in the way

.wav files are. 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

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.

Cheers,

Jamie

Just wondering what the difference is between a data format and an iso
format; each time I burn a CD on my computer using installed software, the
programme says "writing the data iso cd" the end product is a disk with MP3
files on it, which is what I want, but don't understand why in the writing
process the programme calls it a "data iso cd?" Anybody say what this is
about? Thanks - Andy
