Cindy, either you can play them from the CD or you can copy them to the
hard drive and use a Media Player.
 
Hi all,

I thought I would start a new subject. I still need to
understand....after I burn my MP3's from Musicmatch as a - Data CD I will
put them away as a back-up of all my music. I will be using CD-R's. IF
I ever would need it and hopefully I never will....how do you get the
information off the Data CD.

Thank you, Cindy

CD-Recordable (CD-R)
CD-ReWritable (CD-RW)

Can be read by all CD-ROM, CD-Recordable and CD-ReWritable drives. Can
be used only in CD-ReWritable drives or newer Multi-Read CD-Roms
Use this type of media if you want to make Audio CD. You cannot play
CD-RW in most stereo CD Players
Used when you do not need to erase the data Use when you need to erase
the data and re-write new information (ex.: updating files).
Excellent for permanent data storage, such as archives. Excellent for
backups

MP3 files are directly playable within Windows, as well as many newer
stand-alone CD players.

Copy/Paste...
 
IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, you can see all the MP3s on such a CD on another
PC WITHOUTTTTTT musicmatch installed, and can play them, copy and paste is
no problem. If not, there's a solution but can't publish it here.
