feature and creates automatic Playlists based on your sorting preferences. You simply define the length of the desired music program and determine the type of music you want from your pre-tagged Music Library. This feature is great in any situation but a good example would be a party. Rather than manually creating a 4-hour long Playlist of your favorite dance tunes by various artists, simply plug this criteria into the AutoDJ and let it quickly scan your entire Music Library and return all search results in a single Playlist.

CDDB:

CDDB is a database comprised of thousands of artist, album, and track titles. Insert an audio CD in your CD ROM drive and open the recorder screen. If you are connected to the Internet, your program will make a connection with this site and it will match the serial number of your CD with their records and import all title, artist, and track data into the Recorder screen. This information will cross over to the Music Library, as ID3 tags, upon recording completion, saving you the tedious data entry task.
