using CD-RW


Question

some days ago i bought a Sony D-JC501 MP3 CD Player and its just perfect :D

i never imagined that earphones can produce such a good sound.

I'd like to add songs to a CD right after i download them, but i never used CD-RW :blink:

can someone post a tutorial of how to use CD-RW like it was a regular drive so i could add and delete files??

btw, i hate programs that run in the background and i dont mind if the program costs money :yes:

If you have XP, you can do it without any extra stuff. Not sure, but I don't think you'll find anything that doesn't run in the background short of the XP stuff. If you don't run XP, I think Nero might have something that does this stuff or Easy CD Creator might, I know past versions before Roxio took over had something to write to CDs without opening up a burning software.

Yep, that's why it's called rewriteable, you can erase it, use it again, erase it again. But you don't need a tutorial, if you have XP or something running in the background, it's as simple as drag and drop ;)

I don't think you'll find a program that doesn't run in the background though...even XP has something running in the background. You can always close Roxio after you're done copying files if you don't want it always running in the background :whistle:

You cant ruin a CD-RW disk, you can always fully erase it (format it) and it is like new :p

actually, that's not true :whistle:

one time i was burning a cd-rw. there was a storm in my area and my power went out. the disk wasn't readable, and i tried every tool i could find to try and erase the disk. even in different drives. nothing. :cry:

so, however unlikely it is, it CAN happen :shifty:

cool :cool:

i'm formatting the disc with InCD now...i see it takes a lot of time :s 4 minutes passed and its still less then 20% :crazy:

Yeah, the first format on a CDRW to the UDF file system takes a while; after that it won't be as long for a quick file system format if you choose to do so again. :cool:

Ok this is what you can do:

1) Use the engine in XP to write to CDRW. This is enabled by default and runs in the background.

2) Use DirectCD from Roxio. This makes use of UDF and allows you to use your CDRW as a floppydrive. Also runs in the background.

3) Use InCD form Ahead. Same as DirectCD, uses UDF and runs in the background.

4) Get a burner that supports Mount Rainer. It is basicly the same as DirectCD or InCD only done in hardware... so nothing runs in the background.

I think the easiest way would be #1, just use the engine in XP (which is actually built by Roxio if I'm correct).

i've tested my mp3 player, multisession works with it :D

but when i delete stuff in multisession it acts kinda strangly :wacko:

it doesnt free their space and it adds them back next time and stuff like that, but they appear not to exist when i access the disc :s

    • Backpack Hero and Figment are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has just refreshed its weekly giveaways promotion, and there are two games up for grabs this time. Replacing the Sable freebie from last week, Backpack Hero and Figment have now landed for all PC gamers to claim. As always, you have seven days to add the latest indie game permanently to your Epic Games Store library. From the double giveaway, Backpack Hero comes in from indie developer Jaspel, offering a unique inventory management roguelike experience. Aside from collecting items to maximize the potential of a run, like with other roguelikes, here, your placement of the item in the backpack also matters. Each run offers randomly generated dungeons, enemies, and loot to grab. Next, Figment lands from Bedtime Digital Games. This isometric perspective action adventure game takes place in a surreal landscape with hand-drawn artwork, and everything is taking place inside a mind. You take the role of Dusty, the former voice of courage in the mind. The musical adventure involves trying to return Dusty to his old self while also helping the mind beat back its nightmares and restoring its original purpose. The Figment and Backpack Hero giveaways on the Epic Games Store are now active, and they will last until July 10. When not on sale, both games come in at $19.99 to purchase, but PC gamers can add the duo to their library for no cost during the seven-day timeframe. When the giveaways refresh next week, Epic Games plans on giving away two more games: the next musical adventure, Figment 2: Creed Valley, as well as the classic arcade-inspired shoot’em up Sky Racket.
