Mike Richter & CD Extra - SAO/TAO ? (Half-Baked Research)

no track titles

Is there any way to make a CD-Extra disc and get the track
information on it?

If you want to do a true CD Extra, you have to comply with
the rules for CD Extra - which means TAO and no titles.

ECDC and anything else which complies with the standard will
comply with the standard.

I know that's hard to accept, but try - real hard.

Perhaps, it's Mike Richter who should try - real hard?

Session-at-Once is...used for CD Extra.

The above Mikey's statement is the fruit of ITS so-called "research":

After doing the research, I have prepared a page on the combination
modes and posted it in the primer at my site. Though one expert has
reviewed it, I look forward to comments from anyone with experience.

So much for the Mikey's so-called "research" and
so much for the so-called "expert" who reviewed it.

Fuji is no longer being made by Taiyo Yuden (Japan). I think it's
done by Prodisc now (Taiwan). Anything you see on the shelves is just
remaining stock...buy up while you can.

...CD Extra is a defined format for a single session
with audio tracks followed by a data track...

Care to share the source of this definition? All definitions I have so
far seen define CD Extra as two session, session 1 Red Book audio,
session 2 Yellow Book CD-ROM XA.

What does TEE mean? Thanks.

My apologies. I meant to type "TY". Actually, I may have clicked the wrong
button on the spell-checker, proving (once again) that there's no such thing
as "idiot proof" :-)

My experience with Prodisc was very positive a couple of years ago
when a number of other Taiwanese manufacturers were turning out very
shoddy stuff. The quality of even the maligned manufacturers has
seemingly improved since then. The only bad disks I've gotten in the
past 6 months or so has been from Sony, a company that at one time
sourced from Taiyo Yuden, but does not do so any longer.

That said, Fuji's change of manufacturers is not a good thing. If you
want consisent performance of audio disks in your players, you want
disks made consistently of high quality AND of a stable construction.
Fuji's used to meet both criteria. I wonder if they will in the
future.
