Hi i have a question about customizing the actual CD icon for cd's i have burned say for instance when you insert a cd of software or game whatever it sometimes has its own custom cd icon put on your desktop.

Well i am trying to find out how i can make my cd's have and use their own cd icon when i insert them

Anyone have idea how to do this?

Thanks
Makki

if your donig it in finder just change it the way you would any other icon before you burn it. Get info then paste the desired icon

The following works with Toast 5. This will probably work for other burning applications as well, but I've never tested them.

Simply have the custom icon in the .icns format (it is the icon resource format). Name the custom icon to exactly: .VolumeIcon.icns

Drop it into the root directory of the CD. Voila! After burning, it will be the custom icon for the CD, but there will not be a visible file name .VolumeIcon.icns.

Or you could just make a disk image with Disk Utility, mount the disk image, paste the custom icon and then burn that image with DU.
