Important: When making a copy of a CD or DVD, RecordNow can record only to the same disc type it records from. For example, you can record a DVD only to a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc and you can record a CD only to a CD-R or a CD-RW disc. Recording music files You can use RecordNow to create music CDs from various audio files that are downloaded from the Internet, recorded from your hard drive files, or recorded from other CDs. CD-R discs play in most home and car stereos. CD-RW discs play only in some stereos. Warning: When labelling your DVDs, do not use sticky labels. They can cause the DVD to play erratically.
