Audio CD tips

When recording music files, it is important to note that:

￿As you add music files in the recording session, the software calculates and displays the amount of recording time available to record additional music files. If you try to record more than a standard CD can hold, a message displays warning you that all the tracks may not fit on your disc.

￿If your recording fails, manually select a slower recording speed, if available, each time you make a recording. Refer to the Help menu in your selected software program for more information about selecting a slower recording speed.

Creating audio CDs

This section provides instructions for burning an audio CD that can be played in most home and car CD players. For instructions on creating a compressed, jukebox CD, see “Creating jukebox discs.”

To create an audio CD:

1Insert a writable CD into the disc-burning drive.

CD-R discs play in most home and car stereos, DVD players, and computers. CD-RW discs play only in some stereos, DVD players, and computers.

2Open the Roxio Creator program by clicking the Windows Start Button, All Programs, Roxio, and then click Creator.

3Click the Audio tab.

4Click Audio CD.

5Click Add Music, and add audio files from the computer hard disk drive.

6When done adding files, click the Burn button.

When the process is complete, you are prompted to create a disc label. For more information on creating a disc label, refer to “Making a disc label using LightScribe,” or “Making a paper disc label.”

For more help using Roxio Creator, refer to the Help menu in the program.
