[Comixion]

I need a few pointers on this. Yea, yea, this is my first time EVER foolin' around with a CDRW.<BR><BR>What do I need?

That all depends on what you want to do....I like CloneCD for making copys of whole disks.&nbsp; As long as your read drive and wright drive can read/wright in RAW fomat you cant beat clone.&nbsp; For buning binary files, such as most files downloaded from newsgrops I like Fireburner.&nbsp; For just simple files from your hard drive such as pics or any other EZCD creator by Roxio is the easiest beginner program.&nbsp; Whatever you like you can get it here,&nbsp; <A class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.byao.com/" target=blank>BYAO!</A>

I would recommend Nero for general burning such as MP3s and other stuff. For stuff with copy protection use CloneCD or BlindWrite Suite.

I haven't tried any of those ya'll mentioned...yet...seems this pc came with a software cd called "easycd" sumpin' or another. well I spent 5 hrs last night teaching myself the basics. I been so busy the past 3 years or so strictly into Heavy gaming, graphic card experiments ect. that I never stopped long enough to even think about CDRW's . so I'm way behind.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0"><BR><BR>So I have some uh....elementary questions. I see there are CD's labeled 'CD-R' & 'CD-RW'. What be the diff. other than when I was burning music to the CD-R's it told me once finalized you cannot change jack. <BR>PLus, what is the max space on these Cd's.although they say 700mb. I could only copy 8-10 songs averaging 3-6 megs in size ea.<BR><BR>yea, you probably asking where the hell I've been<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0"> but any basic pointers would get me on track.<BR><BR>Thanx guys

CD-R can only copy on the once what you put on it stays on it so always make sure that it is waht you want CD-R is good for MP3s<BR><BR>CD-RW is were you can copy on it but also delete it and copy again as many times as you want, easy cd creator what you have has a thing on it called erase cd for CD-RW <BR><BR>not to sure about the actual size of these dics as far as how many MP3s you can put on a disk but i usualy fit 10 or 12 on mine and i use easy cd creator.<BR><BR>it is right what IceMan says for copy write protected use clone cd or the other one he says <BR><BR>anyway enjoy your new toy hehe as you will enjoy once you see what fun you can have with it???

if you are putting mp3s onto a cd, you can fit around 200... 700 / 3.5<BR>this is for backup purposes or if you have a nifty mp3-cd player like me <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> (<a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.iriver.com/product/detail.asp?idx=5&product_name=iMP-350">slimX</a> r0x0rs)<BR><BR>now if you are burning mp3s onto cds with easycd or nero and you select a"music" format, then it will turn those mp3s into about 30-35 megs each in CD-DA format. this format can be read by regular cd players (walkman).<BR>you should be able to fit more than 8-10 songs on unless you are burning a buncha 8 minute pink floyd songs or something.<BR>i usually get around 20-22 songs on my mix cds.

love the mp3 cd player it looks cool.<BR><BR>and yes most of my songs are long i love pink floyd, Genesis, fleetwood mac, Dir Straites the list goes on so i suppose you are right i could fit a lot more on to my discs if i was not downloading bigg songs.<BR><BR>been listening to Floyd and Genesis for just on 20 years now stems back from my smoking days ?lol.<BR><BR>but the best music around is them in my eyes

I have had experience with Nero before and it has always worked great...except for one time. I recently bought a program and on the second disk was a bunch of video files to teach you how to use the program. No matter what I did with Nero, I couldn't get the disk to copy correctly. Would CloneCD work on video files?

[GNXtreme]

As long as your drive will read and write in RAW format&nbsp; It really doesn't matter what you are trying to copy with CloneCD.
