Hello!

I am working on a demo sampler CD of my work. It's 15 tracks.

This is something that I'd like to be able to Dropbox to someone as one complete file (rather than 15 individual tracks), but when they open it in iTunes, for example, it opens as 15 SEPARATE tracks (not one, giant 15-track audio file).

I know how to burn a physical CD using DP, but is it possible to bounce one large file that will then open as individual tracks on their end?

Thanks!

Aaron

I would keep the tracks as separate files and ZIP them over.

Very easily done in Toast. Likewise, you can create a Disk Image in Apple's Disk Utility. It shouldn't be a problem in iTunes either but I'll never do that (back to Toast or Disk Utility for me).

I can't think how to do it in DP.

Let the end user make his/her own CD. I think that's what most of us do.

Yeah, I could zip as individual tracks. There's always the chance, though, that they could then be out of the order that I want them to play. I could add 01, 02, 03, etc. to the front of each track, but was hoping for something a bit more savvy, if possible.

Sub-question: "Bounce to CD" is greyed out and can not be selected in the Bounce Window. Consequently, I can not get to the step to create a disk image. Is this because my Mac doesn't have an optical drive/burner?

I wouldn't use the built in CD burner. It has never worked correctly for me and Toast is so much more/better. LOL. A DMG (as above) is a good way to go as well.

See if you can set the path to create a .dmg or disk image in Disk Utility. I use Toast.
