What if I used Easy CD Audio to create my CD-R disc?
This application automatically writes the audio format understood by
millions of car and home CD players in existence today. You will be able
to share this disc with virtually any user.
Are there any other ways to create CD-R discs?
Use a CD-mastering application, such as Adaptec’s Easy-CD Creator. A
mastering application, when used with CD-R media, is capable of directly
writing discs using a format that can be read by virtually all CD-ROM
drives and operating systems (Windows95, Windows NT, Windows 3.x,
and DOS).
