About recording music

RecordNow records music CDs that are called closed session CDs. This means that you must record all music files in one recording session. When a recording is complete, no more information can be added to that disc and the CD is closed. Music files can be recorded repeatedly on a rewriteable CD or DVD disc, but all previously recorded files will be erased.

Important: You can record audio files (MP3 and WAV files) to a DVD as data files, but you cannot create a DVD audio disc to be played in a car or home CD player.

For best compatibility with CD-ROM drives and CD players, use CD-R discs to record music.

Recording data files

You can use either RecordNow or MyDVD to record data files to CDs or DVDs. Use RecordNow to create a copy of your personal data files and to create music CDs that you can play in most home and car stereos. Use MyDVD to record video files to create VCDs and DVDs that can be played in most DVD-ROM drives and in some DVD players.

When creating a data disc, it is important to note that:

You can add new data files to a CD-R disc in a later recording session if disc space is available.

You can update previously recorded files that have the same name to your CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD+RW disc.

You can record data files to a DVD+R disc only once.
