Burning Data CD is which ISO Mode?

    I have been burning my Data CD's with nero using Mode 2/XA and ISO2 (32 char filelength)

    Is there a current "best" setting to do data cds like this? I also have an Aiwa CDC-MP3 (car mp3 player) and I really haven't had trouble in either mode, wondering if one is better than another for any reason? I suspect not, but curious, backwards compatabily is not a real issue to me (all my machines have at least a dvd drive)

    It's better sticking with ISO level 1. I don't know any device that could be compatible with that old born-dead strange ISO level 2.
    Computers use Joliet, exept Windows 3 and DOS, that use ISO level 1.
    Unix, Linux and Mac may also acess only ISO level 1 on CD ROMs burned with Windows. So using level 2 may turn your CDs incompatible with those OS. However, it's just an hypothesis. Could someone of more knowledge shed some light on this ?
