- Anybody here still make these?
- I want to get a 400 disc binder and fill it up with tons of MP3 CDs.
- Last night I made one with some albums from Piana and Lullatone.
- This is a pretty amazing technology, I wish I knew about it back in the day I could have fit so many songs on my cd-rs instead of just making a typical audio disc. \n\n

- Why would you do that? Burning FLACs on them as a normal audio disc is better. Best quality, and works on every possible player, whereas MP3 CDs only work in some (though admittedly most). \n\n

- >>2 Why FLACs? \n\n

- After some consideration I've decided to burn audio files to dvd-r and bd-r discs.
- My stereo system plays MP3 CDs, but the thing is once an album is finished it starts playing the next one, I would prefer playback to stop after an album is finished.
- Now I'm trying to decide whether to go with FLAC or AAC encoded to 192kbps. \n\n Pros and Cons:
- FLAC - Original file quality, futureproof, can be converted to any number of encoders later on.
- AAC - Smaller file size while retaining quality, can fit more albums on one disc (one bd-r is around the same size as a 30GB ipod classic), later on if I choose to transport a song to a different device I won't have to waste time re-encoding everything. \n\n Which route should I take? \n\n

- No this isn't for archival.
- I'm aware of LTO, I can't afford that right now.
- What I'm doing is burning these to discs for regular usage.
- I prefer having a physical collection of music rather than just keeping it all on a hard drive. \n\n

- I still make them, usually I burn albums, EPs and lives/bootlegs that aren't on cd \n\n I recently burned Starving Artists - Starving Artists EP, Desmond Doom - Surf Goth A & B, Panchiko - D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L 2020, and The Black Keys - live on KCRW 2010 (Boys Ready? Bootleg) & KCRW 2008. \n\n I just use CD-Rs and Windows Media Player with MP3s off YouTube, Internet Archive, or Spotify. \n\n

- >>2 I don't think most cd players can read FLAC \n\n I know MP3 is pretty universal (and a high quality one doesn't sound bad at all), but I've heard that WAV files are usually compatible with players as well, with only a few not reading them. \n\n

- Hello everyone, I'm from Russia, and I'm writing this post to ask knowledgeable people in the United States where and how I can buy Married in Mount airy by Nicole Dollanganger CDs. Would anyone be willing to sell it to me and send it? My girlfriend loves this album, but I can't find it anywhere, and I want to give it as a gift. I appreciate your assistance, and please forgive any errors \n\n

- Almost always when I rip a CD, I get wav files as output. Is this the tool doing it or where those wav files to begin with? Because if those are wav files by default, then almost all CDs I have are in wav format and not something else. \n\n

- No, whatever program you use to rip the CD just converts the original file (.cda) to a more usable format. Since CDs are lossless, .wav and .flac are common \n\n >>10

- To kind of fix my own messages here, you can burn flac, wav, etc. to a CD with some burning softwares. Mp3 is just the only one built into Windows Media Player and is a common format across all burning softwares and is recognized by most players (I'm not usre the compatibility of flac and wav, although I'm sure that if you use the correct software they probably would work). \n\n

- >>14 That's wrong I'm afraid. .cda files are generated by Microsoft Windows, they're not on the disc itself. Red Book standard audio CDs store audio in LPCM format. These can be stored on a computer, but usually get saved as .WAV (on Windows) or .AIFF (on a Mac). WAVs and AIFFs are uncompressed, they just add a little metadata header to the start of the file, stating sample rate, number of channels etc., but still contain the PCM/LPCM data.
- Flacs are high quality files using lossless compression, but it's still a compression format - audio isn't saved as FLAC on a normal music CD.
- If you burn MP3s or FLACs to a normal CD (i.e. playable on all CD players, ≈78 mins of music) it's re-encoded as LPCM audio data. It's not playing them as MP3s and FLACs. However if you burn it as a data CD, you do get players that can read them and play MP3s, FLACs, WAVs, and even images and movies with JPGs and MP4s etc. But basic music CD players don't know what to do with them.
