Understanding Easy CD Creator Features

Easy CD Creator is a transfer utility that enables you to create or duplicate optical drive media.

Easy CD Creator includes 2 applications: DirectCD and Easy CD Creator. The Easy CD Creator application includes CD Copier.

■Use DirectCD with Windows Explorer to drag-and-drop data files between your hard drive and a CD or between your hard drive and a network drive. DirectCD is often used to back up data files or to share them with other people. Although DirectCD can be used with most application data files, including Microsoft Office data files, it cannot be used with audio files such as MP3 files.

■Use Easy CD Creator, which includes CD Copier, to copy either data files such as Microsoft Office files, or audio files such as MP3 files, to a CD.
