I was just wondering if it was possible to burn mp3s onto a dvd-r as data and have it be read by a portable cd player? My philips expanium portable cd player can read any data/mp3 cd I throw at it so I just wondered if it was possible?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

No offense...

I have not seen one of these in awhile
And no, you can't get a cd burner to burn dvd media either :P -

Try reading my post u elitist.
Even if someone ask a question like that, this is a forum that's supposed to help people and not put them down.

If I get I believe in giving.
I knew it probably wouldn't work but if my cd walkman will play a cd-r I figured perhaps there was some type of way of fooling it to believe that the dvd-r was a cd-r. -

To put it another way:
The burned-in or stamped-in "holes" that make up the digital code in a DVD disk are much smaller than the "holes" in a CD. Therefore, a different wavelength of laser light is needed to read each type of disk.
There are disk drives that have both kinds of lasers for reading the disks, and both kinds of lasers for burning both kinds of disks, but there is no way of "tricking" CD-burning software into thinking that a DVD disk is a CD disk.
The two types of disks are manufactured differently, with code (burned with the appropriate-size "holes") that tells a CD/DVD burner what type of disk it is, and the "dye" in one type of disk cannot be effectively burned by the wrong wavelength of laser, if at all.
Even if you could, there would be no advantage. The physical size of the "holes" would not make the DVD disk hold any more data that a CD disk could, since the two disks are the same physical size.
