Cue sheets You can add Cue sheets to audio discs, just as you can add playlists (see above). Currently M3U, M3U8 ( UTF-8 encoded M3U files) and WPL (Windows Media Player) playlists are supported. To do so, just drag and drop the file to the compilation, and CDBurnerXP will extract the songs and add them in the right order to your audio disc. Playlists (WPL, M3U, M3U8) You can also create audio discs from playlists. Make sure that you buy your music from shops which do not impose any usage restrictions. There are also some limitations.ĭRM protected files DRM protected files are not and will never be supported. To disable sorting, just move one of the tracks manually to a new position.įurther information about supported filesĪdditional to audio file types, there are further files you can use for audio discs. For example, you can click the “title” column to sort all tracks by their title. The column headers of the track list can be used for automatically ordering the tracks by a certain criteria. You can also use Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down if you feel more comfortable with the keyboard. You can change the order of tracks in the track list by either right-clicking on a track and using the “up” and “down” options, or by using drag and drop to freely move the items within the list (a black line should indicate the new position of the track). This is not a limitation of CDBurnerXP, but a limitation of Microsoft Windows. So if you want to maintain the correct order, always drag a selection of audio tracks at the first track of the selection.
When you drag and drop multiple files from the Windows Explorer or internal file browser, keep in mind that the track you start dragging with will always be the first one in the track list. A new window will appear with a couple of options, check “ Burn Options” for more information if necessary. Once you are finished click on the Burn button. The actual pause length can be set later, before starting the actual burning process. Note that this is only an approximation, because a pause of two seconds between all tracks is assumed. Each track is separated from the next with a vertical line. If you would like to listen to a track, you don't have to revert to an audio player, check Play Audio Track.Īt the bottom of the window is a capacity bar, where you can check the size of the disc you create. The procedure you should follow to add tracks to your audio compilation is the same as on Create Data Disc. Note that the only structure allowed on audio discs is the order of the tracks (you cannot have folders on audio discs). This compilation window is different from the one for data compilations, to accommodate information for the audio tracks. To create such a compilation select Audio Disc, from the startup screen. Audio discs cannot be burned to DVD or Blu-Ray, which is by design.
