the question you pose is rather vague, however i think i might know what you're talking about.

when you burn a standard audio cd it converts any audio file format you may be using, such as .mp3, to a .wav format which can then be read in any cd player. whereas a .mp3 file will take up ~8mb of space a .wav file can take up about 10x that amount of space for the same song.

now if you have a mp3 capable cd player then you can just burn all your .mp3 files onto a data disc and you can then enjoy hundreds of songs.

I've got a kinda new cd player in the truck... *Checks their webby*

edit: btw, that was spot on sir.

get one of those things that lets you plug your ipod into the stereo

actually, i don't technically think it's a wave file anymore once it's burned. it'll be .cda's. if you were to explore an audio cd that you just created, there are no .wav extensions and you cannot extract any songs, unless you convert them back to .wav/mp3/etc. etc.

p.s. be careful with your mp3 cd player. some don't do so well with certain encoders and certain types of .mp3's (vbr, etc)

even better, its not even any fileformat. windows read the toc data and interprets them as '.cda' for its own purposes.
it actually is just a data track with a toc data at the beginning, stating where one 'track' should end and the next one starts

I could only fit one song on my CD ........ It lasted 74 minutes

any reason I can only access the first 20 something songs of a cd that has around 200+ songs on it? I've hit every button on the player and remote and I can't change it.

The face looks like this: F01 Track 1.

I was thinking FO1 ment folder1 or something but when I put the cd back in the pc it's only files...

Their pdf manual only says that their product can play mp3 and doesn't say what's going on here?

any idea?

is it a r/w? maybe it's only reading the first session.

using Nero?

Until you find me a way to download an ipod I'll stick with what I got.

Someone needs to come up with a way to pirate electronics.

wait till that scientist finishes his star trek fabricator machine. Then you can get yourself an ipod as long as you know someone else who has one. Although the machine will probably cost ten grand or more if it ever gets working.

What is the technical reason why I can only fit ~20 songs on a blasted cd? When there is enough room for houndreds?

The DEH-P4500MP supports R and RW. Are you finalizing the disc? Burning in data mode?

you're on a dumb dumb roll today. kick yourself in the nuts and call it a day.

tbh, I have no idea what you're talking about... I just thought had enough threads with questions in them earlier.
