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

    • Microsoft accidentally replaced Windows 11 startup sound with one from Vista by Taras Buria The recently released Windows 11 Dev and Beta builds introduced some welcome changes and improvements. However, those preview builds are not flawless and have a pretty long list of known issues. One of those issues, though, is a rather delightful one: Windows 11's default startup jingle has been accidentally replaced with one from 2006. After Windows Insiders discovered that Windows 11 now plays the Windows Vista startup sound and reported it to Microsoft, the company acknowledged it and added it to the list of known bugs in the latest Windows 11 Dev and Beta builds: This week’s flight comes with a delightful blast from the past and will play the Windows Vista boot sound instead of the Windows 11 boot sound. We’re working on a fix. Although Windows Vista is nearly two decades old, it was brought to everyone's attention this week after Apple introduced macOS 26 Tahoe with its controversial "Liquid Glass" redesign, which many consider a rather miserable remix of Windows Aero from Windows Vista and Windows 7. While it is definitely an interesting coincidence, Microsoft did not intentionally replace the startup sound in Windows 11 preview builds. Brandon LeBlanc from the Windows Insider team confirmed in his X that that is a bug after joking about everyone talking about Windows Vista once again in light of Apple's latest announcements: It is worth noting that if you miss the startup sound of Windows Vista, you can still use it in modern Windows versions. All it takes is the original WAV file and a few clicks in the Windows Registry and Sound settings. And for those who want a shot of nostalgia, here is the sound of Windows Vista startup: What startup jingle do you like more: Windows Vista or Windows 11? Share your thoughts in the comments.
    • I refused at $70, $60 was cutting it close for me and I only bought one game at that price, CP2077.
    • Markets are always a follow the leader type of place so to speak. MS didn't raise prices first, but after everyone else did, they will to. Besides, at least they're doing other pro-consumer moves like Play Anywhere. In this case, you can think of it as $80 for 2 copies (console and PC) while Sony and Nintendo would just charge you for both, so $160. Regardless who does it, $80 is too much, even $70 is IMO. Lots of games still come out at $50 and sell well, even if your budget is higher, at $50 the odds are you'll sell more copies and just make it up on volume.
    • How about letting us do an in place upgrade from recovery that would be amazing.
    • From an actual owner (ME) this does not work even remotely good at low speeds.
