Making MP3 CDs

DO NOT use Adaptec™ DirectCD or similar UDF formatted
product to create your discs. It is not ISO-9660 compliant!
Discs can be burned in ISO-9660 (8.3 filenames) or Joliet
(Windows long filenames).
It is best to have all the files you plan to burn physically on your hard
drive prior to burning a disc. Burning from other CD-ROMS is possible if
your hardware is fast enough, but it can cause buffer under-runs which
will result in a CD-R creation failure.
It is recommended that any directory structure you wish to have on your
CD is created on your hard drive beforehand, with folders and sub-folders.
These folders can then be dragged into your new Data-CD layout at once.
Be sure you check "Preserve Original File Order" or ensure that it
doesn't Re-Order files for optimum burn speed or storage. Files
will be played in the order written to the disc, not alphabetically.
Note: The following directions are for Adaptec™ software.
writer software will work as well. The method will be similar.
Warning: If using NTI CD Maker, directories may appear to have only one file each.
