Yardbird,
Maybe this is more like 1 and a half cents worth, but here goes. I read a
post above that assures me that Nero will reincode from mono into stereo.
The only reason I say that is less than the usual two cents worth is that I
happen to use Nero 6 Ultra Edition, but haven't had the need lately to make
any audio cds that require the reincoding necessary, since the main person
I made such cds for now has a player that will play mp3s. However, I used
to use CDRWin, and that was my main gripe with that program. It would not
reincode such mono files, making it necessary to use CDEX to reincode into
stereo in order to turn them into playable tracks.
The required standard for playing audio files on commercial players is to
use the 44100khz stereo attribute, or such files simply will not play, and
nono attribute will not do unless they have been reincoded by your burning
program, or they are done via another program like CDEX.
At 05:50 PM 6/25/2005, you wrote:
1. The other burn programs also use this method of creating am image to
work from, unless you set them deliberately to record "on the fly" without
doing so.
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.
