Creating Music CDs with RecordNow! RecordNow! creates closed session music CDs, which means you must record all music files on one CD in one recording session. Music files can be recorded repeatedly on a rewritable CD-RW disc, but all previously recorded files must be erased first. CD-R discs cannot be erased. NOTE: CD-R discs play in most home and car stereos. CD-RW discs play only in some stereos.

Tips You can use RecordNow! to create audio CDs to play in your car, on your home CD player, or on your PC. When recording music files, it is important to note that: • To play your music CD in a home or car stereo, it needs to be recorded as a music CD in CD Audio (CDA) format, not as a data CD. • You must record all music files in one recording session because RecordNow! closes the CD after recording is complete. Music files can be recorded repeatedly onto a rewritable (CD-RW) disc, but all previously recorded music files must be erased first. 62 Getting Started Guide
