Okay! Today DiscoApp.com released their public beta for their software called “Disco”. So I’ve downloaded it and my first idea is to make a MP3 CD for my car. Lets go for it! Lovely interface and special effects. I drag my files over and it stylishly displays them and starts to burn. This is cool so far!
So I just took it out to my car and it said “Bad Disk!” Then I realized in the settings it, by default, makes a Mac-Only disk. Why in the hell would you want to make a CD that doesn’t work with every computer/cd drive? What are they thinking?! I mean come on, stop with the freaking standards war.
This can be fixed though! If you go into the Preferences and go down to Disc Type and select ISO 9660, the disk will be readable in Mac and Windows and will only read in Mac with the Mac HFS+ format.
It’s BETA! But yes, I think Disco should default to iSO 9660.
Yeah I understand it’s beta but I wasted a disk and it needs to be brought up if they keep it, by default, that your CDs only work on Mac.
can you hook a brotha up and share that beta?
how large was the .dmg?
I can’t, but someone will share the beta on the “sites”. ;-)
The DMG is 700KB, the application itself is 1.6MB.
thanx for the reply Jake.
i’ve been checkin the “sites” with no luck…
guess i’ll just have to wait this one out.
