Operating the CD Player/Recorder

Recording an audio CD

In addition to playing CDs from your computer’s CD-ROM drive, you can record and save them as music files on your computer’s hard drive. When you insert a CD into your com- puter’s CD-ROM drive, the Wave/PC™ software prepares itself to record all tracks on the CD. It indicates this by placing a check mark next to each track title in the music finder window (see the Record column in Figure 16).

Before you start recording

Make sure the tracks you want to record have a check mark next to the track. If there are some tracks you do not want to record, click the checkbox beside the track to clear the check mark.

Starting the recording process

Note: A CD is recorded as a background operation. If you wish, you can listen to another source while recording your CD.

To start recording, click the Record CD button. During the recording process, this button becomes Stop Recording. You can stop recording at any time by clicking this button. To resume recording, click the Record CD button again.

While recording, the status of each track is reported in the Recording Status column:

	recorded.
