I think I understand your confusion. Music is commonly put onto a CD in one of 2 possible 'file types'. The first is called MP3. This is a standard file (think of it like jpg or gif or txt). It is a data format that the computer can read and decode as music. This is NOT like the CD's that you buy in the store. Those CD's are burned with a 'file type' known as CD-A. This is still a regular computer file type (again, kinda like jpg or gif or txt). That CD player that you buy in the store, or that is in your car, or that the radio station has...that has a small computer inside of it. That computer (typically) ONLY knows how to read CD-A files. (Some newer ones can read MP3 and DVD files...but let's stick to the basics.) When you put a CD in your CD player, the CD player looks at the data and, if it is in a CD-A file format, decodes it into music. If it is MP3 format...it doesn't do anything. mobrul [This message has been edited by mobrul (edited 07-13-2001).] Loading...
