Opening CDs

Post by jjyaeger » Sat Oct 06, 2007 9:12 pm

I am preparing CDs of a newsletter for the sight impaired. I can burn the CD's from the MP3 files created by our readers, but they will not open automatically in a CD player. How now? - JIm

That's the difference between a Music CD and a Data CD. Anything you drag cold over to an empty CD will produce a Data CD--basically a thin, silvery hard drive. It doesn't have to be sound files. It can be Photoshop files or Excel spreadsheets.

If you pull the work into iTunes or the music program of your choice, create a playlist and then burn, that will produce a Music CD which will play in your car, truck, or mobile home.
