If the destination Playlist already has one or more Tracks in it, the display will prompt "PList not empty. Proceed?" Pressing DOWN/NO will cancel the CD move operation. Pressing UP/YES will begin to copy the entire CD into the destination playlist, with the first CD track placed after the last Track in the playlist.

5.2PLAYLIST EXCEEDS DISC CAPACITY...

MasterLink version 2.0 software now lets you know exactly at which Track a Playlist exceeds the capacity of a Red Book or CD24 disc.

In previous versions of software, if a Playlist was too large to fit on a CD, you would be prompted with the message "Playlist exceeds disc capacity", leaving it up to you to figure out how much you would have to reduce your playlist to get it to fit.

In version 2.0 software, the prompt has been changed to "Playlist exceeds disc at track xx", where xx is the track number (from 01 to 99) where the Playlist became too large for the CD.

5.3IMPROVED MACINTOSH-CD24 COMPATIBILITY

MasterLink CD24s are ISO-9660 compliant CD-ROMs. However, ISO-9660 does not provide explicit Macintosh file system support, specifically relating to the "File Type" and "File Creator" attributes and Finder Flags. This can cause a CD24's AIFF file to not be recognized properly by the Macintosh Finder.

MasterLink version 2.0 software adds the File Type, File Creator, and Finder Flag information to the CD24 so that Macintosh operating systems will recognize the AIFF files upon insertion of a CD24 disc. MasterLink AIFFs should be "drag and drop" compatible right from the CD24 volume on the Desktop.
