A mixed-mode CD is a single-session CD that contains both computer data and music tracks, and is typically used for entertainment and educational programs. Data is written to the first track on the CD followed by one or more music tracks.
Note: Mixed-mode CDs are used in CD-ROM or CD-Recorder drives only and cannot be played in home or car stereo CD players.

Start a new mixed-mode CD project. From the Easy CD Creator Project Selector window, click Make a Data CD, then click Data CD Project. An untitled data CD project appears.
From the File menu, point to New CD Project, then select Mixed-Mode CD.
Note: The mixed-mode CD project allows you to add files and folders to a data CD project; and audio files to a music CD project.
