playing CDs and recording music to the library

The digital entertainment center’s CD mode lets you:

■play CDs, just as you would on any CD player

■record CDs to the device, where the resulting MP3 files become part of your music library

■gather CD information for a CD, if for some reason the information wasn’t retrieved the first time you inserted it

You can also record music to the digital entertainment center by copying it directly from a networked PC.

note To burn tracks from your library onto CD-R or CD-RW media, see “taking your music with you” on page 45.
