Recording music files on DVD instead of CD's
Is it ok to burn music files onto DVD-R's instead of CD-R blanks or will I have problems? I've burned quite a few movies on DVD-R's but I haven't tried music files.
Thanks, CI ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Current build: OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 Case: Thermaltake Xaser Damier CPU: AMD Athlon 64 2.4 Ghz 4000+ San Diego Fan & Heatsink: Thermaltake "Blue Orb" 120mm Mobo: ABIT KN8 SLI Socket 939 RAM: 2 x 1 Gig DDR400 Dual channel -- Corsair Value Select Psu: OCZ GameXStream 700w GPU: EVGA GeForce 7950GT KO Optical drives: Pioneer DVR-112D (DVD-RW) Sony 1.44mb floppy HDD:Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250GB IDE ATA133 |

You can burn any data onto a DVD, just as you can onto a CD, though with much more space available. Without wishing to state the obvious, music files on a DVD will not play back in a standard CD player.

Hi Freakitchen,
Thanks for LMK about the problem with playback. I was unaware of that! Getting back to burning music files for later playback in a standard automotive or home audio system, do you know if anyother blank media is available that will work? I would like to find media that has a longer playtime than what a 650 or 700MB CD has. If what I'm looking for isn't made or it happens to real expensive then I guess standard CD-R blanks will have to do. Thanks again!

You Need software that can make "music DVDs" -- Music burned as data on a DVD won't cut it. I'm pretty sure most modern burner suite will do this. Check out the latest releases of Roxio, Nero, and the like.

For media that will play in standard CD players you are limited to the 700MB CDs. Unless your players can play other types of files such as MP3's or WMA's, and even then if it can only read CDs you are still limited to 700MB.

that said an MP3 cd can use 700mb to store a lot longer playtime of music than rcording tracks as audio cd. but only some modern stereos and DVD players etc will be able to play them, some car stereos can too.

however, if you have a DVD player you can listen to music from them. Basically you use a DVD, and the software listed above. Then put it into your DVD player and hit play. (each chapter is a song, ie. chapter 1 is track 1, chapter 2 is track 2...)
