I think I know that if I burn an audio CD of wildlife sounds, any CD player
can play it. (Except perhaps if I fill it with 80 minutes of sound there
are players that don't handle that much.)
However if with my Mac G3 I burn a data CD of the same sound, a PC won't be
able to read it? And possibly even Macs with an earlier operating system
won't either. Am I right?
This would make data CDs a bit risky for archiving long term. When I have
to replace my G3, will I still be able to read its' data CDs? A chore if I
have to transfer them all from the G3 before disposing of it; disaster, if
I'm replacing it because it died.
