What is driving the 900MB burning requirement?

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Make and model CD/DVD Drive?

What software is being used to burn the CD-ROM?

What is being burned to the CD-ROM?

What is the source?

More information needed.

I have an audio list of files from an album that is too large for a standard CDROM. It's just bartely too large for it all to fit. I don't want to split it into two CDs. So I need a 900MEG CD to get all of it on.

That's kind of a tall order, as the drive must not only support CD-R99 (860MB) but also overburn.

I'll suggest an internal LG Blu-Ray burner such as LG WH16NS40 in an enclosure, but you could look up the LG external burners yourself and see if those will also burn 900MB CDs.

Is this for the songs being played on a cd-only device or is it just for storage capacity. If its just for storage it might be simpler to use a dvd. I've used the LG BP60NB10 with good results and I recommend it.

For songs being played.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find ANY information on whether the burner you suggested will work with 900MB CDs. Nor have I been able to find any mention at all about compatibility of ANY burner with 900MB CDs. Oh well. Thanks anyway.

It was never in their official specs so you have to look for reports from people who've tried it. I'm pretty sure both current internal Blu-Ray models WH14NS40 and WH16NS60 will read and write CD-R99, but couldn't tell you anything about if their slimline external models can do the same--those are made from laptop drives, probably from a different engineering team. But with how easy it is to return things nowadays... well you could just try it.

Note that CD-R99 also requires a compatible player to read back the whole disc, + your car or Toshiba-Samsung (TSST) burner may not cut it, and either just stop reading at the CD-R80 standard 700MB or even be unable to read the disc at all because the tracks are too close together.
