Oops, saved the last one a little too soon...
And so it came to pass, on 11-20-96 21:08,
   that Gordon Gilbert spake unto John Allen:
 GG> The PC drive doesn't have these limits, AFAIK, but I thought I read
 GG> in Stereo Review that PC audio discs won't play on a regular CD
 GG> player, which makes them useless, unless you have your PC drive
 GG> plugged into your main stereo or something.  Has this changed?
It just depends on the software.  Digital data on a disc is just digital data 
on a disc.  If the software can write the appropriate information to the 
disc, there's no reason a standard CD player can't read it.
We've got a CD-R where I work; I haven't had the chance to play with it yet, 
but from what I can tell, the included software (called "Gear", and includes 
Windows, OS/2, Mac and Unix versions!) creates audio CDs by simply taking 
your music, stored in .WAV format sampled at 44.1kHz/16bit (this presumes 
you've already sampled the songs to hard drive with your standard sound card 
and recording/sampling software), and writes it to the disc along with the 
necessary control information.
