vIBM RecordNow

IBM RecordNow is disc mastering software that allows you to create your own music or data discs from files on your computer, or from other disc media such as CDs or DVDs. Music discs created with IBM RecordNow will play on any CD player, whether it’s at home, in your car, or through your computer’s CD-ROM. IBM RecordNow also makes it easy to create data discs that can be read on any appropriate CD or DVD disc reader.

Note: Some DVD players cannot read CD-R media. Refer to the documentation

that accompanied your drive for information on supported media.

IBM RecordNow guides you, step-by-step, through the recording process with simple wizards and an intuitive interface.

Using IBM RecordNow you can create:

–Exact copies of existing discs: The Exact Copy feature makes a duplicate of your master disc, transferring the disc layout of the original disc to your CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD media.

–Discs of archived data from your hard drive: The Make a Data Disc feature stores electronic data, such as the files and applications that reside on your computer’s hard drive. Unlike music discs, data discs store files that are readable only by a computer, and cannot be played on your home or car stereo, even if audio files are on the disc.

–Music compilations from WAV, MP3, or WMA files, or from existing music discs: The Make a Music Disc feature creates custom music discs from files on your hard drive or your existing music discs. The CD music database feature can automatically tag your files with track information to help you sort through your collection.
