    Yes it does...right click on any file and send it to the burner...and windows will burn it...whether dataor video or music.

    Why would you choose to burn a collection of data files (say, Word documents) as an audio disc?! It just wouldn't work.

    No you said windows can't burn data discs and I said yes it can by doing what I said.....windows will burn anyfile....as all files are DATA.
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    I said no such thing! And an audio CD is not a data CD containing files; it's a stream of bits conforming to the red book standard. All files might be considered data, but not all data are files. There are no files on an audio (red book) CD.

    Just re-read your last two posts. They don't make any sense at all. Let's recap:

    What...?! Retire said that in order to copy a CD "you'd have to burn it as an audio disc, not data". In response I said that that's not the case if you want to copy a data disk, to which you said "Yes it does."

    Please don't pretend you don't understand how nonsensical that is.
