A. CDs which contains both audio and data info on the same disc are called Enhanced CDs. Because the data portion is put before the audio portion on these types of discs, it will make a device driver (such as CD/DVD SpeedTools) think that it is a data only CD. As a result, CD/DVD SpeedTools will mount only the data portion of the disc automatically when inserted. However, CD/DVD SpeedTools also provides an exclusive feature to mount the audio portion of the disc too – as if it were a common audio only CD. The feature works by forcing the CD/DVD SpeedToold driver to manually look past the data portion of the CD for audio information that may be contained there.
