Music

For convenient access to your music collection, click Music on the Arcade homepage to open the Music homepage.

Select the folder, CD or category that contains the music you want to listen to. Click Play to listen to the entire content from the beginning, or select the song that you want to hear from the list in the content area.

The songs in the folder are shown in the content area, while the left side has controls for "Play," "Shuffle" and "Repeat All." The "Visualize" option allows you to watch computer-generated visuals while you listen to music. When playing music, the control panel at the bottom of the page makes it easy to adjust the volume and control playback.

To rip music from an audio CD, after you have inserted the CD, click Rip CD. In the page that opens, select the songs you would like to rip (or click Select or Clear All), then click Start Ripping.

The progress of the ripping operation will be displayed on screen.

You can change the file quality of the ripped tracks by clicking Settings.

Make DVDs

Acer Arcade provides an easy and complete solution for recording data, audio, photos or videos. You can burn and share any combination of data, music, photos or videos onto a CD or DVD — direct from Make DVD mode or some of the other Acer Arcade media modes.

Authoring CD/DVDs

With Acer Arcade it is possible to create CD or DVDs directly from the main menu, or from whichever media mode you may be using. The burn DVD option can be found in the "Advanced" or "Main" menu of Video, Album and Music media modes.

You can burn your favorite songs to a CD or convert songs from your music collection to MP3 and other popular audio formats. You can even create MP3 CDs with over 100 of your favorite songs and listen to them on your PC or MP3 CD player.

With Arcade, you can also turn digital photos into a slide show with background music, or film clips into an amateur movie. You can share any event with your friends and family for playback on most DVD players. You can even add customized theme menus and menu music.
