stereo cd-r playback

[JPaul]

Alright.

If I rip a CD to MP3 using EAC/Lame and burn the resultant files to a CD-R using Nero, EZCD, or even WMP, I guess that makes it an audio CD.

I have an Onkyo CD changer and several other CD playback-capable units which will play such MP3-based CDs, only one of which is less than, oh, 3 years old.

Isn't this capability what the originator of this thread was referencing?

It would never occur to me to pop a data CD into any of my music machines.

What did you fellows think I was talking about?

So you were talking pish after all .... and there was me supporting you.

Pish is in the eye of the beholder.

Perhaps you could do with a quick rinse...

BTW-

RealitY-

What is a BY-GO whisky-drinker?

The original post was just refferring to playing cdr not any actual media type that I can think of but was most likely reffering to cda files like youve now cleared up. Somewhere along the way it got a tad confused as it seemed you were suggesting these relics played mp3 files as data which many new players do with no conversion back to cda needed allowing room for much more tuneage on teh disc.

Anyway it would seem all is clear now although I dont know if I can ever see you in the same light being a hardcore confused whiskey drinking American with bad taste at that...

Difficult to see how "I have an Onkyo changer, vintage 1995, that plays MP3s." can be misconstrued old chap.

It either does, or doesn't.

So .... which is it.

mp3s or mp3s converted to cda (otf)

The latter.

I apologize for your lack of discrimination.

CD-R is a media type. Mp3 or CDA is a file type.

The medium is the actual physical thing it is recorded on, the file type is what is recorded on it.

Um gee thanks for clearing that up he who backs the pish.

I was actually saying the same thing I thought...

But when I questioned it you re-inforced the claim by saying

JP-

Decoding, right.

In any case, I am quite sure my Onkyo DX-C211 6-disc changer plays MP3s, as I am (as I type this) playing an old 8X MP3 I burned in my 2001 vintage NEC NR7800A which was OEM on my Dell.

In what was a quite frankly condescending tone.

To think I then supported you blindly, for shame.

My post count is HUGE yeaaaa...

No, you actually said exactly the opposite, whatever you thought you were saying.

It's a "what words mean", "what order you put them in" thing.
