Recorded CD-R discs work fine in my CD-R drive but fail in some CD-ROM drives. Do I have format problems?
Although interchange failure is frequently related to out-of-spec parameters or errors, formats are often the culprit. It would be convenient if only one data format existed. However, market demands for multimedia, plus the popularity of CD-R recording, have created a complex web of formats, each defined by their own standard. Every drive may not comply with each format, creating a significant risk of interchange failure. Digital Audio, or CD-DA, was the initial compact disc format. The Red Book standard of 1980 was followed in 1987 by IEC 908. Sound is recorded in frames, each containing 24 bytes of digitized audio. A continuous, spiral track consists of lead-in followed by pre-gap, then a single physical track of audio frames, then post-gap, and finally lead-out. Multiple songs are accessed by dividing the physical track into as many as 99 logical tracks, and by subdividing logical tracks using indexing. All compact disc drives must be capable of playing this CD-DA format. Compact Di
