About creating a music CD

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

In order to play your music CD in a home or car stereo, it needs to be recorded as a music CD in CD Audio (CDA) format, not as a data CD.

You must record all music files in one recording session because RecordNow closes the CD after recording is complete. Music files can be recorded repeatedly on a rewriteable (CD-RW) disc, but all previously recorded music files must be erased first.
