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).

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

    • Finished Subnaitica 1 last year. In my 38 years of playing video games, it was such an awesome experience. Never have I felt a game that has left a mark. How did I manage that? I didn't read any guides or saw any videos until 15 hours in and also only looked up for very specific area I was stuck. Took me 50 -60 hours to finish.
    • Finished it recently. No weapons was just a great feature. You aren't military nor have military experience.
    • Excel, Word, and PowerPoint on the web grab welcome new feature by Usama Jawad The Microsoft 365 suite of software is a vital part of any organization that has decided to go with Microsoft's tech stack to meet its needs. As such, it's critical for the Redmond firm to continue upgrading the capabilities of its tools to retain its existing customers and attract new ones. And now, Microsoft has done just that by adding a very welcome new feature to some of its applications. Microsoft has announced that viewers of an Excel, PowerPoint, or Word file on the web can now directly request edit access to it. Previously, customers were forced to resort to workarounds to achieve the same purpose. One of these was to download a view-only file and make edits in a copy and reshare, while the other was to manually reach out to the owner of the file and ask them to give you edit access. Microsoft rightly acknowledged that these methods are too cumbersome and slow, so now it has integrated the option to directly request edit access in its web applications. In order to leverage this capability, customers need to do the following: Open the Excel, Word, or PowerPoint file on the web Click on the Viewing icon on the top-right Select Request more access Select the Ask to edit or Ask to review option, depending upon what you need You can optionally write a note to the file owner too; this can be used to provide more context about why you need additional rights Click send File owners will then receive an email with the request change in access along with the optional note, and they will be able to accept or deny the request directly from within the email. If they do the former, the requestor can refresh the file in order to get take advantage of increased access. That said, Microsoft has cautioned that the propagation of access elevation may take some time to reflect in large or complex documents, or those with many co-authors. Additionally, the capability is not supported in Classic View in Word for the web. However, it is available to all enterprise customers with Microsoft 365 and a stable internet connection as long as the file they are requesting elevated privilege for is available on OneDrive or SharePoint.
    • Things like these I would hope wasn't on the internet months prior launch. Having a WOW moment when it's presented to the audience for the first time would had been jaw dropping. (this amoung other tech accouncements)
