[Fmpro] audio cd's and UK compatability

[Carlos da Silveira]

Andrew,

CD is an international format and, from its inception, was intended  
to be played worldwide withount contraints. Burn an audio CD with  
Toast (or anything that does the task) and be sure that it will play  
in most CD players. Otherwise you can send an audio CD and a data CD  
with aiff or wav files just to  be sure your files will be playable  
in a computer also.

Best

Carlos
