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. n IMPORTANT: HP supports the lawful use of technology and does not endorse or encourage the use of our products for purposes other than those permitted by copyright law. Storing Files on a DVD or CD Unlike music CDs, data DVDs and CDs can be recorded in multiple sessions: 1 Using the trackball, click Start, choose All Programs, Sonic RecordNow!, and then click RecordNow! again. 2 Select the Data Projects tab. 3 Insert a blank or appendable CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, or doublelayer DVD+R (select models only) disc into your drive, and then click Data Disc. ■ If the disc is blank, follow the onscreen instructions. Or ■ If the disc is full, insert a blank or another appendable disc. Or ■ If you are adding files to a disc, follow the onscreen instructions. 4 To name your disc, select Volume Label, and then type a name over it. RecordNow! assigns a name based on the recording date if you don't type a name. 146 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Reference Guide
