Supported Formats
Easy CD Creator supports the following CD-R formats which are
used to make data and audio CDs:
■
CD-ROM
Data CDs
This is the standard for recording
data CDs.
■ CD-ROM XA
Data CDs
XA stands for Extended Architecture.
CD-ROM XA is based on CD-ROM
but adds better audio and video capa-
bilities so CD-ROMs can more easily
be used for multimedia applications.
■ CD-DA
Audio CDs Compact Disc-Digital Audio. This is
the original compact disc standard
and is used to record music CDs.
■
CD Extra
Audio and Data CDs This format allows you to combine
audio and data on a CD. The audio
tracks are recorded in the first session
and one CD-ROM XA data track is
recorded in the second session to
make a multisession CD. The audio
tracks on CD Extra discs can be
played on home or car CD players.
■ Mixed-Mode
Data and Audio CDs This format allows you to combine
data and audio on a CD. Mixed-Mode
differs from CD Extra in that the data
is recorded in the first track followed
by one or more audio tracks, and both
the data and audio tracks are com-
bined in a single session.
Mixed-Mode CDs should be used on
CD-ROM or CD-R drives only.
