I have been following this thread with interest, as I have some Chinese DVD
player that does everything under the sun, like play MP3s. What I have
found out so far is that the mp3 cds I burnt with a pc worked fine, but what
I have tried so far with the mac does not work.
The one thing that I have not tried yet is naming each mp3 file with the old
8.3 dos naming structure (xxxxxxxx.mp3). Maybe the mp3 software built into
the machine can only understand the old 8.3 filenames, rather than the
longer win9x filename format.
Would I be correct in saying that?
*** SPECULATION AHEAD *** USER BEWARE ***
At this point I'm *guessing* that the CD's that work are being burnt on a
PeeCee are standard ISO9660 cd's and that the CD's being burnt on a Mac are
using the Joiliet extension.
The most obvious difference is support for long file names.
So, most burning software will support renaming files to conform to real
ISO9660 standard. If you don't do the rename, then it's not an ISO 9660
disk, so I'm *guessing* it barfs...
I'd also be very surprised if it supported sessions, so you'll need to burn
a whole disk.
