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

[Beezersmom at aol.com]

Hi Dieter:
Someone, not on the List, told me that if I was going to burn music, I  
should use an audio disk because that's why they make them.  OK, I guess  I'm going 
to have to stop listening to people and their advise unless it comes  from 
people that I know, know what they're talking about.
I didn't know that I should burn music using only CD-R, thank you.
I only download to CD-RW's before I listen to the songs and have never  
burned a CD-RW and I'm glad because I didn't know that I won't be able to play  
them on a regular CD player, thank you, again.  The whole purpose of  burning my 
own CD's are to listen to only songs that I like and to play them in  my car 
and CD player.
BTW, fortunately or unfortunately, depends how you look at it, I do have  
super sharp hearing. 
Again, thank you for the valuable and useful information, I truly  appreciate 
it.

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.
