Title: Burning MP3 cd's
Post by: jsfarmer on August 26, 2004, 11:22:15 pm

Ok, i have been a continuous user for 1 1/2 years and i can't find this. I even consultied the help file.

I want to burn around 120 .mp3 files to a CD. I've done it many times before but never withe MC.

I can't even find in the options where you can choose the format of burned cd's in advance.

Please don't call me stupid (you can think it all you want) :P

Once you have chosen the songs you're going to burn ("select all"), click the burn button, you will get a dialog box which gives you a choice between "audio cd" and "data cd". Choose "data cd" (mp3 CDs are Data CDs). That's it, except to click on start.

You are not stupid. ;D

Can you burn more than one session?

I don't believe MC supports multi-session data cds, (at least it doesn't in MC 9).

Make sure you select the  file and folder naming rules before you burn the CD.  If it's a compilation you will probably want to select a folder rule of 'none' so they all go in the root and a file name of custom with the option to append the sequence number to the beginning.  That way the files will be burned in the order you see them.

Ok, i am not getting a dialog. it goes straight to "You are 400 minutes over capacity, do you want to burn the disk anyway?"

What version of MC are you running? Someone with the same version should be able to answer this.

If you're not using MC 10, you may want to upgrade.  MC 10's burning via the Action Window is very straightforward.

Also, MC does support multi-session data burns.

Is this true for MC 9.0 as well? If so, where is the option? I have never seen it.
