TSGL: Fw: A PROGRAM TO CONTROL THE SOUND ON A CD

[Dieter]

Toni ...

I don't understand what you mean by ... if I'm burning music I should burn 
it to an audio.  You should burn music (for listening) using only CD-R 
disks.  Whether the raw disk says audio disk or data disk is immaterial. 
Unless you have super sharp hearing, you won't be able to tell the 
difference.  Of course you can also use CD-RWs, but you won't ber able to 
play them back on regular CD players.  Regular CD players usually only play 
WAV files.  More modern players may play the whole gamut ... WAV, MWA, and 
MP3, and others.

Well, happy burning and listening.
