TSGL: A PROGRAM TO CONTROL THE SOUND ON A CD

[Beezersmom at aol.com]

Bob:
You've really helped me out and I appreciate it very  much.
I download to a CD rather than my HD because I download a ton  of music at a 
time and listen to it whenever I get the time.  I just don't  like to put too 
much on my HD and only what's necessary...do you think I'm wrong  the way I do 
it?
Thanks for all your help

I don't understand why you put them on a cd-rw to  
listen to them. You can do the same if they're on your 
hard  drive.

My procedure is to set up a directory just for cd 
tracks  that I'm thinking of burning. If I don't like 
them I delete them from the  directory. When I have 
enough for a CD, I pick the tracks I want and load  them 
into the burning software, change the play order (if 
needed),  make sure the "normalize" function is checked 
and burn the entire cd at  once.

I've never burned one at a time, but my guess is that 
some cd  players won't play the cd until the cd is 
"finalized". I also think its  better to normalize the 
entire group of tracks at the same time rather  then 
individually. It may not make a difference but I've 
always done  them as a group so I don't have a way to 
compare  it.
