Operating the CD Player/Recorder By default, when you insert an audio CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive, the Wave/PC™ system automatically switches to the CD mode and starts playing the CD. To disable automatic playing, remove the check next to "Automatically play CDs when inserted." Normally, when the Wave/PC system plays a CD for the first time, the Wave/PC application downloads detailed information for that CD from the CDDB website. If you do not want the Wave/PC application to do this, remove the check next to "Automatically get CD track info from the Internet." If this option is unchecked, you can get CD information anytime by clicking the Get Track Info button in the CD application window. When you click the Get Track Info button, the CDDB Internet service may find more than one match for some of your song titles. To limit your request to only the first match found, make sure you select "Use first match for CD track info." If you choose not to select this option, you will be prompted by CDDB to select one item from the list. When this checkbox is selected, CDs are played using the analog output of the CD-ROM drive. Otherwise, digital extraction is used when playing CDs. This setting does not affect the CD recording process. However, when selected, simultaneous playback and recording of CDs is not allowed. The recording format drop list offers you a choice of audio file formats: Fixed MP3, Variable MP3, or WAV (uncompressed). Fixed MP3 is recommended. It is more compatible with other devices, such as portable MP3 players. PDF259774_00 The recording quality drop list allows you to select the quality level for recording. The available levels vary according to the recording format you choose. In general, the higher the bit rate, the better the sound quality but the larger the audio file size. Quality Level Low Medium Medium-high High (default) Higher Highest Bit Rate Encoding MBytes per (kilo-bits/sec.) min. of play 64 kbps 0.5MB/min. 128 kbps 1MB/min. 160 kbps 1.25MB/min. 192 kbps 1.5MB/min. 256 kbps 2MB/min. 320 kbps 2.5MB/min.
