creating a music cd

RecordNow! creates closed session music CDs, which means you must record all music files on one CD 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. CD-R discs cannot be erased. See “getting started with recordnow!” on page 57.

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

To record a CD-R or CD-RW disc:

1Open RecordNow!, and if necessary erase the CD-RW disc; see “getting started with recordnow!“ on page 57.

2Click the Audio Projects tab at the top of the RecordNow! window.

3Click a project option:

•Audio CD for Car or Home CD Player•Exact Copy•Jukebox CD

4Follow the onscreen instructions to finish recording your disc.

creating a data cd

Use RecordNow! to copy a data disc or to copy personal data files from your hard disk drive. Insert a blank or an appendable disc to copy to.

To create a data CD:

You can add new data files to a CD-R or CD-RW disc in a later recording session if disc space is available. You can also update previously recorded files that have the same name as your new data files on your CD-RW disc.
