Is it possible to mix data and normal CD Audio on the same disc? I have a client who wants to put the text of speeches and the speeches themselves on the same CD. He wants to be able to access the text by putting the CD in a CDROM drive. He wants to be able to play the speeches by putting the CD into a normal CD Audio Player. Is this possible? Will each kind of drive / player be able to tell what information on the disk is meant for it and should be processed and what should be ignored? A music CD can contain up to an hour of music on it right? Can you put more data than that (eg 2, 4, or 6 hours) of recorded speech on a CD and still play the speech on normal disc player? This doesn't seem possible to me but I told my client that I'd research it for him. Thanks in advance for your help. – Eric
