Writing mp3's as data files

Recommended Posts

Hi. Very very new to ImgBurn. I'd like to use it to burn mp3 files to a CD-RW disc as data files rather than audio files. I can fit a lot more files on a CD that way and they play fine in my car's radio/CD-RW player. I tried looking through the Guides here and of course it kept talking about burning mp3's as audio files. I tried using "Write Files/Folders to Disk" and it seemed to be going ok but eventually I got a message saying that I had not set the Write Parameters. Can anyone help? What procedure do I use to write mp3 files as data files and how do I get to the Write Parameters in the future if I need to set them? Thank you. AtownPA

You're using the right option ("Write files/folders to disc") for what you want. Also use ISO9660 + Joliet filesystems (look in the Options tab).

 

The error you've mentioned seems to indicate that your drive doesn't like that CD-RW disc. Can you post the log from that burn attempt? Look in ImgBurn's Help menu.
