UWP and IMAPI or addressing CD-ROM Drive

263 Views Asked by At

I'm pretty certain that IMAPI isn't duplicated in the Universal Windows Platform (which seems like a bit of an oversight) but I need to write audio files to a CD-ROM drive.

Is this even possible? Where can I find documentation?

Unfortunately, there is currently no API to write on a CD-ROM drive in UWP.

You could write a Brokered Windows Runtime Component that would allow you to use Win32 APIs to do that, but that would mean the app would no longer be accepted on the Windows Store and would also not work on any other type of device.

Alternatively, you could write a WPF app that would be packaged as UWP app with the Desktop Bridge.
