RecordNow creates closed session music CDs, which means you must record all music files in one recording session. Music files can be recorded repeatedly on a rewriteable CD-RW disc, but all previously recorded files must be erased first. To erase a recorded CD-RW disc, insert the disc, open RecordNow and then click the Erase button. CD-R discs cannot be erased.

Note: CD-R discs play in most home and car stereos. CD-RW discs play only in some stereos.
