RECORDING MUSIC

Your VIA!dj allows you to record music from CDs and add it to the music library stored on the Hard Disk. Using either its built-in modem or an Ethernet connection, your VIA!dj automatically checks the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition Service and XiVA website when you record a CD, and downloads the album title, track titles, artist name, genre for the CD and cover art. If you do not provide an Internet con- nection you can label the CDs you record manually.
