can someone help me to delete music off of a burnable cd?
its not one of those cd-rw to let you all know.

umm.....difficult one if it's not a cdrw or should I call it impossible unless someone else proves me wrong :)

You can probably break it ;)

However if you want to put additional songs then you could add music if you have freespace in the remaining area of the disc unless you 'locked' the CD while writing it

Yup cains right, you can't remove stuff off a non rewritable. Although you can add stuff if you haven't closed the disc.

[Bon]

No, it is possible to delete stuff if the disk hasn't been closed I believe...The free space will be gone from the CD though.

What burner software you using if you haven't closed the disc?

Just as easy to burn it again IMO, costs less than a buck for a CD!

[Cain]

Hmm Bon how is that possible?

I thought that might be possible, I've never tried to do it. Can you do it with Nero?

It wouldn't remove anything from the cd, as Bon said, you will loose the area you've already burnt too.

Its when you burn more things to the cd its possible you could write a new file allocation table ignoring the earlier contents of the cd.

I've never bothered with the price of cd's being so low.

I dunno, never tried it how did u do it Bon?

The Cd can have its index changed. Because the first part of any music CD is a sort of index that tells the player where each track starts and stops and what it is called. It is possible to change the index of the CD and remove tracks, you cant replace a track beacuse once the disk is burnt its burt, but you can remove it from the index so that a player wont access it. (very good way to place information on a disk without people finding it unless they know where it is.)

As for how to do it practically using Nero or summit, i have no idea. its like 20p for a new CD so just buy a new one, i've never been that bothered about wasteing space on a CD-R
