CDDB (Compact Disc Database) Tips

Always download information:

A check mark in this box causes RecordNow to automatically access CDDB to download song information.

1.Click Scan for Music from the Make a Music Disc from Audio Files or Make a Disc fro an MP3 Player screens to display the music files in the Music on System window on the left.

NOTE: If you use the CDDB feature to download song information for your files, depending on the amount of files on your system, the initial download process may take a few minutes.

2.Click the View button to display a drop-down menu of the various sorting options.
