Audio CD tips

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.

•As you add music files in the recording session, DigitalMedia Plus 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 your recording fails, manually select a slower recording speed, if available, each time you make a recording. Refer to the Help menu in your selected software program for more information about selecting a slower recording speed.

•If you try to record more than a standard CD can hold, a message displays warning you that all the tracks may not fit on your disc.
