Chapter 8:

Copying CDs

The most common use for making a copy of a CD is to create a working copy of a CD and archive the original in a safe place.

NOTE: CD Copier is designed to assist you in reproducing material in which you own the copyright or have obtained permission to copy from the copyright owner. Unless you own the copyright or have permission to copy from the copyright owner, you may be violating copyright law and be subject to payment of damages and other remedies. If you are uncertain about your rights, contact your legal advisor.

What Kinds of CDs Can I Copy?

Using CD Copier, you can make backup copies of almost any type of CD. The following table lists the types of CDs that can be copied and some notes about making backup copies:

Type of CD

Notes

Audio

If you are using a drive other than a CD-R or CD-RW

 

drive, a source CD-ROM drive capable of reading

 

audio digitally is required. Not all drives support

 

digital audio extraction. See “Testing Your System

 

Configuration” in the CD Copier Online help. (Easy-

 

CD Audio tests your drive to determine its capabilities

 

when the source CD is inserted.)

 

CAUTION: This release of CD Copier supports copying

 

CDs in Track-at-Once mode. This means that there is a

 

two-second gap of silence between tracks.
