Gary is correct when he uses the term "dual mono" instead of mono. Even
when a CD has the same material coming through both channels, there are
still two channels: they just happen to be in total synch with each other.

2. I'm pretty sure that it's very simple: You burn stereo music tracks to
a CD, they remain stereo. You burn mono tracks, they remain mono, and the
same material goes into each channel. I don't think there's any
alternative.
And of course Nero or another similar program can't create a stereo CD out
of monaural material, nor do I think those programs can combine channels to
make monaural recordings from stereo tracks.
I'm certain, of course, and the people at PC-Audio list are bound to know
these things, there are more sophisticated burning and recording programs
that can probably produce simulated stereo from mono sources, and make a
monaural recording out of a stereo one. But that's at the level of
sophisticated recording technology, not the consumer level I think Nero,
Easy CD/DVD creator, and the like function at.

Can't answer that one. Don't use either of those products.
I guess the only way to find out how closely a cd copy could match the
original would be to use Nero to make an .mrg image of the original audio cd
and then play that and check. Nero is the only program which will make an
image of an audio cd that I know of. UltraIso will image an audio cd but in
Nero's proprietory .nrg format only.

player if they are stereo files like the original cds.

If you are using Nero 6 the program will automatically convert to the
appropriate format. In other words just at the files in their current
format to a new audio cd compilation and then burn that compilation to
cd. Nero itself will convert to stereo. You must realise that Nero can't
make mono in to stereo ie. you won't hear stereo sound. However Nero will
reformat so that to a cd player the tracks will appear as cd quality
stereo-if that all makes any sense.
BTW I have noticed that when this process takes place Nero appears to be
running very slowly ie. when the tracks are being burned to an audio cd.
I suspect that this is due to the automatic reformatting process and not
to any inherent Nero fault.
If you want to do a reverse check of your cd when you have made our audio
cd from the mono sources just use Nero or some other ripping program to
convert back to say .mp3 format and check the format. You will see that
they are indeed 44100 16-bit stereo files.
Cheers

I need to make a audio cd of mono material. How do I do that using Nero?
