Dear Robert:
So you mean the DVD uses the mpeg file system while the music CD
has no
dvd's have iso9660 or udf filesystems or sometimes both. data cd's
have either iso9660 (orange/yellow book) or udf filesystems. pure
audio cd's have pcm data divided into tracks (per the red book
standard, iec 908), they do not contain filesystems. a cd can contain
multiple sessions which could represent different types of data, but
in general they do not.
more info can be had here:

real file system. And that is why its contents show up in File
Manager?
Thank you.

I am not familiar with the inner workings of DVD file systems.
Video DVDs that I have burned have an assortment of visible files
when look at them under Windows. I just put a DVD burner on
my main Linux box and plan to learn something about video editing
on Linux. My Pinnacle video editing software on Windows has
great features and a great interface, too bad it crashes all the time.
You can put a data file system on a DVD and use it to back up files.
When you do this, you can see the files just like with a data CD.
Audio CD's have some other type of organization, a bit of poking around
on the web will show some good tutorials on this. I have never managed
to do anything useful with the files obtained by pulling the files
right off the CD with file manager on Windows. I tend to use a
ripper to
get the songs off my CD's and then put them on my MP3 player. I can
then keep the originals in a cool dry place (my safe).

Dear Bob:
Thank you for the good information.
I really don't need to rip the contents and burn them in mp3 format.
I was just curious about the whole thing. Now it all makes sense.
Knowledge is always better than ignorance.
