Hello, Nero acts weird sometimes..... ie when I hit the burn button (and have the CD in the tray)
it will pop the tray open and say please insert tray, which I close again, but it still doesn't take......
I'll get through this.....
Anyhow, I'm wondering if there is a way to set up Windows so that when I do
a drag/drop burn of the mp3 files it will do the FAT files in a way that will allow the mp3's to be
played in a CD player ?
Of course the CD plays OK on the computer, but isn't recognized in my mp3/cd player, I've
been told it is probably because of th FAT configuration.
I'm running Vista. Any Ideas ?
Full Version: Mp3 and FAT files ?

Does the CD player in question explicitly claim to play .mp3 files?
If so (CDs don't use FAT) are you writing Disc At Once (as opposed to Track At Once) and closing the session? Many devices do not like open session discs.
If so are you packet-writing to the disc? Don't - as most non-PC devices have no idea what to do with a packet-written CD.
If not you need to burn a red-book audio CD, such as with Burrn. (A most excellent, simple, audio CD burner for Windows.)
You have to tell nero whether you want to burn an audio CD (max 80 minutes) or a data CD (max 700 mbytes). If you add more than 80 minutes of mp3 files and try to burn an audio CD, it will reject that, possibly asking for a larger (i.e. DVD-R) disc.
If you burn it instead as a data CD then it will not play in an ordinary CD player, but should play in DVD players and computers.

I was using the "DATA" method on Nero.
Have used it in the past, but it's flaky i.e. my description of it asking for a
CD when there was one in it. I can work around this somehow.
But as an alternative I was wanting to use a straight drag/drop burn.....
Yes I am trying to listen to them through a DVD player that will run Mp3's
Not sure about the other stuff you mentioned .....
"are you writing Disc At Once (as opposed to Track At Once) and closing the session? Many devices do not like open session discs.

I just popped the CD into the tray and then did a copy, drag/drop....
How would I set some of the things you mentioned ?
What is the red-book burn that you mentioned ??
