When you make a CD, the software converts what ever type of media you have, wav, mp3 whatever to a readable file which is placed on the CD. I have taken mp3, mpg, avi, wav whatever and made them into readable formats for my CD's. I have down loaded music in various formats and done this.

You can backup an mp3 file on a CD and it won't play. Being an MP3 file has NOTHING (well it actually does, but I'm explaining something here) to do with it. What does matter is the directory. The directory is what points to the specific file on the CD so the CD Player can play the song. But to make a directory, the software converts all files to a common file and that is stored on the CD. MP3 Players are unique cuz you can down load mp3 songs WITHOUT converting them and they play, as well as the unbelievable use of disc space and the ability to compact these files to small amounts of data.

You are wanting to play CD's with no directory and containing all mp3 songs correct?

When you make the CD's they are converted, but that is not what you are wanting to do.

SORRY about that, did not mean to mislead you. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif[/img]

Hope this wasn't to complicated
