FEATURES

5.1MOVE ENTIRE CD TO PLAYLIST

MasterLink version 1.0 software gave you the ability to copy Red Book and CD24 tracks directly to a playlist from the internal CD drive one track at a time (covered in Section 7.2 of the MasterLink User's Manual). In addition, version 2.0 software gives you the ability to copy all tracks at once from a Red Book or CD24 disc.

The Move CD to Playlist function is accessed through the TRACK MOVE button while the MasterLink is in CD mode. Like the CD Track Move function in version 1.0 software, the Move CD function moves tracks from the CD into the currently selected playlist. It is important, therefore, to make sure that you have selected the appropriate playlist before switching to CD mode.

After switching to CD mode (via the HD/CD button), pressing the TRACK MOVE button will bring up the CD track move page, as shown in Figure 5.1.1.
