Using the RecordNow software

RecordNow allows you to record Audio CDs, Data CDs, and copy existing CDs. Detailed information about using RecordNow is included in the RecordNow help. You can access RecordNow help by pressing F1 inside the RecordNow menu.

To start RecordNow in Windows Me, or Windows 2000, select Start->Programs->

IBM RecordNow.

To start RecordNow in Windows XP, select Start->AllPrograms->RecordNow.

Once RecordNow is started, select one of the following three processes:

vMake an exact copy: Select this to back up your own CDs, or make copies of CDs you have previously created. After you select this option, RecordNow will prompt you to insert your disc to be copied, and then will prompt you when to insert a blank disc.

vMake a music disc: Select this option to create an audio CD. The second screen will ask if you want to make an audio CD from MP3 and Wave files on your hard disk, or from other audio CDs. There is also a selection to make a disc for an MP3 player, which is a specially formatted data disc that can be played in stand-alone MP3 players.

vMake a data disc: Select this option to create a disc containing data files from your hard disk. RecordNow will ask whether you want to format the disc for DLA or make a data disc for sharing with others. RecordNow will prompt you to insert a blank disc. Then a screen will appear that will enable you to drag-and-drop files, or browse to find files on your hard disk.

vOnce RecordNow is started, you can also perform two special operations:

–Clicking on the Favorites button will allow you to load a previously saved audio, data, MP3, or CD image to burn a new copy.

–Dropping an ISO or GI CD image into the files box for a data CD will record the image file directly onto the CD.

–To make an ISO image of a CD with RecordNow, select Copy a CD and set the destination recorder to record file to hard disk.

Note: To limit the recording speed in RecordNow select Options, and in the Advanced tab window pick the speed of your choice from the drop down box entitled, Limit the Maximum recorder speed.
