For an mp3 cd player, do you need to finalize the cd to play mp3s?

With relatively modern players, no.

coroneos · 12th November 2003, 06:22

coroneos · 12th November 2003, 06:45

most new mp3-cd players maqde within, eh, about 6 months maybe dont need to be finalised to get track position and length readings.

coroneos · 12th November 2003, 07:16

are sony mp3 cd players new?

Give some specifics like model numbers, perhaps, and maybe someone can answer your question. And why are you even asking this, why not just try playing an un-finalized mp3 cd in this player, or are you just looking at buying one still? And furthermore, with the use of CD-RW you don't need to worry about any of this crap, because you can always just start over and erase it.

That's the one I have, and just a note of quality of MP3's, it doesnt do 320kbps VBR very well.

Why not just burn a multisession disc and try it?

coroneos · 12th November 2003, 23:28

What about playback of 128kbps and 192kbps songs on the above Sony mp3 cd player?

With 1 good quality CDRW disc you can put 160 some odd songs on it at a time, erase the disc and put 160 more songs on it. Saves discs.

coroneos · 13th November 2003, 08:48

are you 100% sure you can erase CDRW discs? I have asked computer specialists, and they believe that you cannot erase CDRW's after finalizing!

whiteflip · 14th November 2003, 21:31

I am 1000% sure you can erase CDRW and I will bet a dollar to a dime that you can. I have done it after finalizing CDRWS. Your computer specialists are morons. I erase my finalized cdrws all the time.
