Total time of your audio tracks

HP RecordNow displays the cumulative time of your audio tracks. This number changes with each track that you add or remove.

HP RecordNow will not allow you to add a track if it exceeds the available space on your media (typically 74 minutes for a compact disc). Or, you can remove one or more tracks from your list.

Changing CD Recorder drives

HP RecordNow automatically chooses the first optical drive it finds. However, if you have more than one drive, you can choose which recording device you wish to use.

To change your recorder drive:

1.Set up your recording job as you normally would.

2.After HP RecordNow automatically opens your recorder drive, click the Change button.

HP RecordNow will automatically switch to the next drive. If you have more than two recorder drives, select the appropriate drive from the drop-down menu.

Adding Data to a Data CD

HP RecordNow allows you to append or add data to a disc that already contains data. When appending data to a disc that already contains data, a prompt will appear asking if you would like to continue with the operation.

Or,

■Click No if you do not wish to overwrite that data. You can then add another blank or appendable disc and try again.
