Are you saying DVD players won't play files with just audio in them? I thought I'd keep these disks in another location so I figured DVD disks would cut down on the number of them I'd need. I've yet to burn to one of these disks. I just became DVED capable with the purchase of this computer and Vista Home Premium.

In less you have a DVD player that can play dvd audio discs, burning all of your audio files on to dvd is a bad idea. You may want to stor them on eather CD or MD. It's just something to think about.
