Record Playback of MS files
There must be some way to burn a disc on my PC from The sound Playback on either or both MS.org and MS.com. All my files are original music by me so it would not violate any copyright laws. I do have some burn disc software.( I have burnt a disc from Windows Sound.) I would like to be able to hear my playbacks just by having them on a disc! Anyone, help? ( P.S. I don't mean by a microphone from PC speakers.)
Also, can anyone tell me how to use a disc than has only a small amount of KB of the total MB pf a disc used? When I insert such a disc (t was only a CD-Rom, but not a music CD-R) The burn software says disc not empty cannot be erased, etc. You should be able to use ALL of the disc when only a small part of it has already been used. I did buy some MUSIC CD-R discs, as I discovered the regular ones won't play in a regular CD player, but only play in the PC!

Simply export a WAV file from MuseScore (File / Export), and then use your favorite tools to burn the CD from that.
As for using discs, there are lots of different formats out there. Sounds liek you need to choose a re-writable disc for what you are proposing. You are better off asking those kind of tehcnical questions on a forum dedicated to that topic, though.

Thanks for the reply. I am totally new to recording on a PC. Will try it this coming week. Before I try the operation though, don't I need to know what tools to export it TO though? I see I have a thing called Roxio Creator in my programs and it makes discs. Also, a software download I don't even remember downloading appeared on my desktop, and it does disc burning stuff. I guess those are the kind of tools you mean? I don't have any favorite tools, since I've never done this before. OK, on disc help, if necessary, will get on a Forum discussion on that.
Thanks for your help. delhud2
I don't remember all the terminology, but in Windows (not sure about Linux or Mac) there are 2 ways to finish writing to a CD/DVD disk. (1) close as multi-session that allows you to write more to disk later and (2) finalize that terminates writing to the disk but prevents any additional writes.
The software you are using to write to the disk selects the method. Some software supports one method, some both. According to this Microsoft page on the subject, Windows Explorer does not finalize the disk. At least in Win 7.

As I understand your question, you want to write some music to a CD, and then use it in a CD player. Then at a later time you want to add more music to that CD.
Here's another reference about burning CD's: //howto-pages.org/cdwriting/08.php
Audio CD decks are (usually, there are exceptions) not multisession-compatible. All they see is the first session on the CD. If this session contains audio tracks then the CD deck will happily play them back for you. A computer CD-ROM drive, on the other hand, is multisession-compatible and will therefore read the last session written to the CD. If that last session happens to contain a data track then that's what you'll get on your computer: data.
Multisession mode can be used to write data files for making a computer CD as opposed to a music CD. I have created data CD's with .mp3 files written in this mode and played them on a music CD player sold circa 2010. You may be able to do the same. No guarantees, however. You will have to try it to see. I'd try it with .wav files first.

Thanks for your comment. I am not a great high-tech person, so some of the info in your reference is practically incomprehensible, to me. i tried though, to read through it all.

All I want to know basically is how can I do more than one session on an AUDIO CD. Your reference says they are not mulstisession campatible. I thought audio diskcs were supposed to create "tracks" for each song or piece of music?

OK, Thanks! I did not know that, and did not know MicroS. had a page about this stuff. Now I know that the software I was using, NHA, did it. I remember seeing that a finalization action started up automatically at the end of my first session. So I of course could not re-use the disc to add stuff to.
