A quick query, I probably should know the answer to this myself but brain failure is setting in...!

Is it possible for a CD to contain regular music and a file at the same time, and be readable by both?

Basically what I'm looking to achieve is a DJ demo CD. I want to do a continuous play CD, where each track is separate like a regular album, but when played in a regular CD player will flow from one track to the next flawlessly (like Ministry of Sound albums, etc). The DJ software I have will do this, and I know it works, and plays fine.

However, as I will be sending this out, my target audience may not want to listen to a CD, they may want to listen to it on an Ipod/mp3 player or on the computer in digital format. Again, the software I have lets me do this as a complete mp3 file, albeit about 100MB.

How do I (if at all possible) burn both of these to one CD? And would a "bog-standard" CD player ignore the mp3 data and play as expected?
 
why not make disk in several formats, i pod mp3 ect seems easiest solution
