A 'PS" to my own posting -

Should have mentioned what I really need to know is how many files I can
put on a CD. Obviously, if every one shows up as only 1 k, it's no
help.
Thx again
Dave

When I look at a cda file CD all I see is a 1 KB file size for each
track. There's obviously a lot more on the disk. Is there any way to
what else is on the disk? Tried Karen's directory printer but no joy.
Just curious -
Dave





Cda's are merely an indication that music is on there - see the first two
artiles here :

You can put about 74 minutes of music on a standard CD.

What software do you use to burn with ?

Cheers,

Thanks for the info Jerry -

I'm using NERO v6, which came with my Sony CD/DVD drive. v6 is now
outdated and unsupported. I tried to update to the current v8, but at
180+megs, my local ISP timed me out (an all nighter). Anyway, v6 has an
option called Disk Info, which does show file size. Looks like 22k is
typical. So I have a start on what I'm trying to do.

Speaking of which, maybe you can help me on a similar issue (posted an
inquiry on this but no replies.) My wife is a professional organist.
We're trying to get selected items on a single CD. But no matter what I
do (again, using NERO v6) to input text in preparation to burn a disk, the
final disk comes out with file labels of Track01, Track02, Track03, etc.
How can I get correct names on these tracks?

BTW, Disk Info shows not only track number but the correct name, so the
correct name is on the disk somehow. So I guess the real question is how
to get it to show when I put the disk in a CD-ROM (or my computer.)

Again, thanks for the help - it is appreciated.

Dave



There is not any easy answer. See this link, second reply to the question :
