CD Extra & Mixed Mode CD

With the CD Extra feature you can create an audio CD that also contains your data files. The Mixed Mode CD allows you to create a data CD that also contains audio files the in audio CD format. These discs allow you to play the music on your computer with the proper playback software, and also view the data files like a normal data disc.

The procedure to create of these discs are very similar, so they will be outlined together. To burn a CD Extra or Mixed Mode CD disc, do this:

1. In the Select a Burning Task window, click the Mixed Disc icon and then select CD Extra or Mixed Mode CD. The CD Extra/Mixed Mode CD window opens.
2. Use the search pane to navigate to the files you want to include on your disc.
   
   
   
   
3. If you're creating a CD Extra disc:
   • Drag and drop music or video files to the middle pane. (Dragging a folder to the pane adds the files it contains, but does not create a folder on the disc.)
   • Drag and drop data files and folders to the bottom pane. (Dragging a folder to the pane creates a folder on the disc.)

Note: If you drag music or video files to the bottom pane, you will be unable to play them on a CD player, as they will be read as data files.

4. If you're creating a Mixed Mode CD:
   • Drag and drop data files and folders to the middle pane. (Dragging a folder to the pane creates a folder on the disc.)
   • Drag and drop music or video files to the bottom pane. (Dragging a folder to the pane adds the files it contains, but does not create a folder on the disc.)

Note: If you drag music or video files to the middle pane, you will be unable to play them later, as they will be read as data files.
