robl45 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I read the guide on audio cd's. I'm assuming that is if you want to burn a normal cd that will play in any player? What if I want to burn an mp3 disc? Can imgburn do this with cdtext included?
Cynthia Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum, robl45! Yes, that's possible.
robl45 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum, robl45! Yes, that's possible. Thank you, But I was kinda asking how you would do it. I can't seem to figure it out. I've tried looking at the help and such, but doing the audio seems self explanatory, but I don't know how to make the mp3 disc especially with the cd text.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 CD-TEXT only applies to a CD Audio (CD-DA) disc. If you're burning an MP3 data disc then whatever ID3 tags are in the files will still be there once they've been burnt to the disc. You burn an MP3 data disc using Build mode.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. So looking at the build mode, will the mp3s burn just as they are put in build mode? I believe it said in some software that mp3s only burn in alphabetical order or something? And is there anyway to move them around in build mode or you just put them in the order you want?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 File systems tend to store files in alphabetical order - some insist upon it. If you want to play then in a different order, change the name and put a number at the start (this is typically the track number). Of course it's only going to be like how they are on your hdd. They don't play in any set order off there, except how you import them into your playing software. MP3 players will typically parse the ID3 tags of the files and build a listing based on the artist, album name etc - so the order within the file system doesn't mean anything.

What i'm asking is, I believe with nero, I can add say 5 songs. Song A, song B and Song C. Even if Song C is first then A then B, A will end up first on the disc, then B, then C. So if I label my songs as numbers such as 1, 2 and 3. Even if I put them in the build file as 3, 2 , 1. They will end up on the disc as 1, 2, and 3, is that correct?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 The physical position (LBA) of the file on the disc shouldn't have anything to do with the playing order. Why not just burn a disc and try it?!
