Creating a music CD
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.
■
As you add music files in the recording
session, RecordNow! calculates and displays
the amount of recording time available to
record additional music files.
■
You can’t record song titles unless you make
an exact copy of a music CD in your
collection.
■
If you try to record more than a standard CD
can hold, RecordNow! displays a message
warning you that all the tracks may not fit on
your disc.
