DVD as a CD

Is it possible to burn mp3's to a blank DVD and listen to it in a cd player?

If so, how?

no, cd players cannot read dvds regardless of what is on them

what about as data?

no cd and dvd totally different

the size of a dvd is 2 cds put together

CD Players still canot read DVDs.



Smallest consumer available DVD .... 4.7GB

Largest consumer available CD ... 900MB .... how's the math work?

If you are asking whether or not a DVD can store data files , umm?yes. Based on the size of the media (dvd disk) you can save as much data files as can fit on that disk.... but you can't access it from a cd drive.



As for the original question: Are you talking about a CD drive or a CD player... like the kind in a car or a portable cd player??


A DVD drive can read DVD and CD disks. A CD DRIVE cannot read DVD's.

As for a standard portable CD player, they can read CD's not DVD抯 and many of them cannot read CD-RW, but most can read CD-R ...and some cd players - especially older cd players - cannot read MP3's stored on the CD media.

Well by technicality an MP3CD......... also you can have karaoke cds and CD+G and all them obscure 'colored-book' specifications (it still wont read DVDs tho )

yeah I just edited my post like crazy... I am a little perplexed as to what he meant by: "what about as data?"


CD Drive or CD Player....

in either case a dvd wont work... but a data cd wont work in a cd player...

the faceplate in my car was very expensive.. but it still wont let me edit my word and excel docs...

... I think I am reading too much into it....



edit.. once again:

I understand an MP3CD has data on it. But when you create an MP3CD it isnt as a data CD it is still as a music cd (or whatever your cd burning program calls it)
