- If I have an audio that's a MP3 am I going to be able to save it on a CD?
Is that the right formatt for this?
I see MP3 and wav (I think Wav is for uploading and playing on websites?)
- In my experimenting with the cd burner, I have used quite a few blank CDs. They are the R (non rewritable kind) which I was told to use for music. Some of the CDs I've tried to copy have stopped, and said "error- the read speed is too slow" or something.
Now, when I try and use these CDs (that started to copy but nothing was copied on them) it says "put in a blank CD" (doesn't recognize them)
Is there a way of fixing this, like clearing them? I saw something called DISC SCAN that said it would "repair cds and make them usable again". If there isn't this is a real waste of blank CDs, because I don't know when I start IF it's going to copy or not. I think I can use them for data, but there's only so much "data" I can put on. And now I know more about it I want to get rewritable ones for this.
(one problem I have is I see things and then can't remember where when I might need to apply them).
If I have audios (songs) in the correct format (MP3?) can I then put them all on a CD, LEAVING SPACES BETWEEN THEM (with the titles or track numbers showing up) like "bought" CD?
Like, saving songs I like from various other CDs, and then putting them all on one blank CD, as "my favorites".
I've been told I can't save a program already installed in my computer on a CD (like for safekeeping), but can I download it, and then save it to the CD? Like download something and save it to the desktop and then "send to CD (E drive)" instead of intalling it directly first?
Since so much can fit on a CD, I've gotten the idea of saving programs I have, so they could be reinstalled from a CD if I have computer problems and everything gets wiped out.
I tried making a copy of my WIN 98 installation CD (for a backup) and it said it was copied, but "setup was disabled". Maybe this is a MSN thing to keep people from copying it?
I have read FAQs about this and looked it up in google, but there's so much else with it I don't want (right now) or understand, I need it in more simple, direct ways.
Sometimes I feel like such an "old dog learning new tricks".
