With regard to CD-RW discs playing in CD players, yes their can be an issue, particularly with older audio CD players. It should go without saying that CDRW's must be finalised or 'closed' before they'll be recognized by an ordinary CD player. It only makes sense if the CD is indeed an audio CD for a burner to choose audio Cd as the method of burning,. As an aside, Nero certainly converts any original audio format , be it MP3 or OGG for example, before burning to an audio CD. (MP3 and OGG are burnt to data CDs.) Too risky to burn directly to CD. Much better to have a file tidied up and propperly prepared on your Flash Card first. Much more controlable. Cheers, Ray. Jamie Cuthbertson <jamie.cuthbertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote Hi guys, Just a couple of points: 1. I'm pretty sure that Steve is spot on here and that if you use a blank music CD, it automatically selects the recording format. This makes sense as, when the disk is finalised, it converts the tracks into CDA format for playing on a standard CD player. 2. One point which is worth mentioning in regards to the issue of whether to record to a flash card first or direct to a CD is that no editing can be done on a music CD. It is therefore more cost effective to record onto a flash card first, do the necessary editing and then generate the music CD. Remember though that if you want the best quality, you should, in this case, select the 44.1 MHz stereo option when recording to the flash card. 3. I have a vague memory of there being an issue to do with either the use of recordable or re-recordable music CDs in some types of CD player. I don't have the manual to hand but I think it is mentioned in there somewhere. I'll try to find it and will get back to you if I can find the details.
