Grabbing
Grabbing is digital audio extraction that is reading audio tracks on a CD in digital
format.
Index positions
You can set index positions within an audio track. These index positions allow
you to move to specific points within the track using an audio CD player.
Unfortunately, very few audio CD players have the functionality which allows
them to move to index positions.
Please note that index positions are not the same as the start and end of tracks.
All audio CD players can move from one track to another on a CD, but very few
can read and move to index positions within a track.
Hybrid CDs
A hybrid CD contains files for more than one operating system. Generally, the
term hybrid CD is used to refer to CDs which can be read by PCs running
Windows and by Macs. If the data is to be accessible to both operating systems,
there must be two copies of it on the CD.
Lead-in
This is an area at the beginning of each session. However, it is only written to the
CD when the session is completed. The lead-in contains the table of contents
(TOC) of the session.
Lead-out
This is an area at the end of each session which is written at the same time as
the lead-in.
m3u playlist
An m3u file contains a list of MP3 file paths. An m3u file can be created, for
example, by NeroMIX or WinAmp. Nero can process m3u files, which means that
when you are creating an audio CD, you simply have to drag and drop the m3u
file into the audio window.
Mixed mode CDs
A mixed mode CD has one initial data track followed by audio tracks. This usually
means that audio CD players cannot process the first track. If you are creating
audio CDs to be played on a CD player, it is better to use the CD-Extra format,
because on this type of CD the data follows the audio tracks.
