I've bought a used car with a player that can play DVD-Audio. I have lots of MP3 files that I'd like to burn onto one disc but can't find DVD-Audio burning software anywhere. There used to be a product from an outfit called 'Cirlinca' called DVD-Audio Solo, but they stopped selling it in December. I run Windows otherwise I could use 'Burn for OSX'. I found software on 'sourceforge' but apparently it doesn't work, so that's not an option. I've emailed various Ebay vendors asking whether their burners can burn DVD-Audio, but no joy yet.
Thank you
Andy

How many DVDs do you want to burn?

The download page on Cirlinca still works and the free trial will allow you to burn up to 5 DVDs or 30 days use.

I shouldn't need to do many discs if they hold loads of songs. I'll have a go tonight. Thank you for your help

Just because your player can play DVD-Audio why do you want to burn DVD-Audio discs? Does it also play ordinary DVDs? If so worth checking if it will play MP3 (or FLAC or WAV or whatever you have) files just burnt to the DVD as data?

The DVD-Audio forma is PCM files up to 5.1 channel and up to 192Khz sample rate (but not both at the same time) so isn't a great way to get lots of tracks on one disc - most commercial DVD-Audio discs have just 1 album on - a stereo and a surround version typically. Worth getting hold of one just to hear the effect in the car if you're really interested in trying out DVD-Audio.

Hi Clive, thanks for that. I didn't have time to have a go last night. My player doesn't play MP3 files recorded as data files on either CD or DVD. It plays them on CD if they are 'Compact Disc Digital Audio' discs, but they then only have 80 minutes capacity!
I'll try and buy a pre-recorded DVD-A disc off Ebay or somewhere, to find out what it sounds like properly. My idea was just to burn hundreds of songs onto 1 disc rather than buying an I-phone interface.

I don't think you're really understanding DVD-A. It's a hi-res music format. Not just a bigger version of CD. Seems odd the player can't play MP3s from anything though.
