They are exactly the same. Music cd-rs are a scam.  They cost more because the music industry gets a cut of the profit.

You can burn folders full of files to CD, but if they're music, they won't play unless they're in the root of the CD (not in folders). Also, you'll need to make sure that the combination of files in all folders don't exceed the capacity of the CD.

I go for the highest rate my applications and hard-drive will allow. I think most of my mp3's are ripped at 228. I do notice quite a difference when I then burn them to a CD for back-up.

Nero Burning Rom has a feature that allows you to 'normalize' every track on an album that you are about to burn. That means every song should have the same initial volume.

The speed of copying CD's is not a function of the program as much as the write speed of your burner, & the read speed of your player. Other factors would include hard drive speed, ram speed, and processor speed.

Nero definitely. Using others are just waste of time. There is also a software named InCd that comes with the Nero Cd. It lets you use a Cd-rw just like a floppy disk.

It depends on your OS (Operating System) and if/what you're cd burning program is.

The music files on your computer are most likely MP3s, which are a compressed file format.  In order for most CD players to be able to read a CD, the CD burner must un-compresses the MP3 file, which can increase the size by 10 times or more.  If you have a CD player that specifically states that it can read MP3s, then you can burn an MP3 CD (if your burning software has that option), which will burn the songs in the MP3 format, allowing you to store a greater number of songs.

I'm assuming you want to play music on the CD player...correct?\nIf so, there are several variables you need to be aware of.\nFirst: compact discs differ for data and music.\nIf you plan on playing songs from a CD that you burn in your computer, then you must burn your music to an audio formatted CD.\nSecond: as to why your DVD player will play the disc but not your CD player, it could be that you have a high-quality DVD which will play a wide variety of discs.\nThird: you might try burning a DVD with tons of music on one disc to give yourself hours of music, as opposed to a 70 minute maximum on a CD.\nA note about DVD's: when you buy digital video discs, they come in a "minus" or "plus" format.\nThe label will read as such: "DVD-R" or "DVD+R".\nYou might check your player to make sure you are buring the correct disc format.\nSee link for further information.

While any CD-R will work, the ones that are listed as "music" or "audio" CDs - and are more expensive - have an extra amount added to their price that goes back to the record industry to buy royalty to musicians and others.  So files burned to a Music CD are legal.  Files on other CDs may not be.  Other than that, they are identical.

There are many good answers already given above, and a few bad ones. \n\nNot one person has mentioned important factors such as how much RAM you have, how fast your CPU is, or even more importantly, WHAT you are burning in the first place.!!\n\nI you are burning a wide variety of files scattered all over \nyour computer, say from another CD, a USB memory device, \nmany different folders from dfferent harddrives, all at once,\nthen there is a hiccup every time the computer has to load in the data from a different location... Burn slow !\n\nIf you are gathering MP3 songs which are scattered all over your harddrive in many sub-nested folders, burn slower.\n\nIf you a copying another CD of your favourite songs or MP3's, you have to consider - how fast is the CD you are reading from, how fast is the data tranfere From one CD to the other, and not just in terms of the " rated" speed, but is one a Master, and the other Slave on the SAME CABLE? If so, the speed is cut in half, since there is only one cable, the cable can only read OR write at any moment, and the data\ncannot read, and be sent to the other CD immediately, which it " COULD " do if the 2 CD's were on DIFFERENT cables...\n\nBe aware that the "rated" speed of any CD is the fastest speed that the CD can burn --- *** IN ONLY ONE SPOT ON THE\nCD *** --- That means that in the tiny centre area of the CD, where the radius of the circle is the smallest, the CD can burn the dots at the fastest speed. As you go out farther on the CD, the actual speed of the track increases greatly, and on the outmost last 1.4 inch, I do not know of a single CD burner that can burn at the " ADVERTISED " speed. ( So in "fact " no CD burner at all burns at the\nhighest speed listed  ). A good CD burner will burn at 80 times. If you take a laser speed reader and look at any CD, you will see the speed decrease as the burner head moves away from the center...\n \n SO, if you have a 4 Giga Hertz computer, with 2 GigaBytes of ram, and an 80 X Speed Burner, and use Serial ATA 10,000\nRPM harddrives, and have each CD machine on a separate ATA 80 pin cable as a MASTER, then you can burn quite fast, with\nfew errors appearing immediately...\n\n I agree with the answer that a slower burn is a more reliable, better burn, with less problems. If you have\na collection of files from differnt harddrives and CD's,\n-- put them in a SINGLE FOLDER, and burn the contents of the \nnew folder, since everything there will be in the same\norder, in the same location, with no hiccups since  the computer does not have to change devices to read the data. \n\n  If you can, try to arrange your cables to the CD's so that\nthe Burner is NOT on the same cable as the harddrive or the\nother CD you might be gathering data from.\n\n Two people with exactly the same harddrive, CD reader, and CD burner, can have totally different success in burning CD's at any given speed. If the first person has the harddrive on a ATA cable, with the CDs as Masters on\n2 differnt cables, while the second person has the\nharddrive and the CD burner on the same cable, as Master and Slave,\nthe second person will not be able to burn as fast without having problems....\n\nI generally burn at 1/2 the speed of the rated machine listing. If the burner is rated at 48, I aim for 24, and if\nI know WHERE THE DATA IS COMMING FROM, ie., from a slower device, the network, or scattered folders, I burn even slower. It does make a differnce. If I am forced to gather\nthe data I am burning from the SAME CABLE.... ( a master or slave on the same cable as the burner ) I burn even slower\nagain... After a while you get a good " feel " for where you can put the speed settings, on each machine...\n I have hundreds of BAD CD burns. Live and learn. There are hundreds of exceptions to each rule, and different software\nprograms for burning, and different manufacters of CD's, readers, burners,

You have to burn a CD using a CD burning software e.g. Nero

you could always try broadband. as for the cd, you can burn them using windows media player

Use CD-R disks if you want to keep something permanently and CD-RW disks if you want to be able to put more stuff on it or erase something you put on it.\n\nWith the RW disks, I would not try to rewrite to them more than a couple of times because you might lose some of the sound integrity with multiple erasures.

DVDs are the best way for music. CDs wouldn't hold much.\nUse Nero other other software that will make DVD data files.

Neither is better than the other.  The only difference between the two formats is the way they save information and how the start and stop points are different on the disc.  Other than that there is no difference, but be aware of what type your DVD drive is compatible with.  A DVD+R drive cannot write to a DVD-R disc and the reverse is true.  Most modern drives are DVD+/-R/RW which means they support all formats but older drives were either -R or +R and you were restricted to that format.\n\nAlso -R or +R are write once DVDs whereas -RW and +RW are write, erase and write so they can be used multiple times.

IT might but why use CDRW's. The cost of a CDR is so low that just burn what you want to listen to then when it gets old and boring toss it. Some CD players have trouble with CDRW's, especially those using various colors expecially black.
