RECORDING

How do I copy MP3 files on to a CD?

You need to record MP3 files onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc to play in the iMP-700 Series.

In general, there are two kinds of blank CDs.

CD-R (CD Recordable): Recordable but not erasable.

CD-RW (CD-ReWriteable) : Recordable and can be used again after erasing.

There are several ways to burn a CD. A CD is created in sessions.

Single session: Close session after burning once.

Multi session: Do not close session after burning. More data can be written to the disk later.

This iRiver player can play packet-written CD RW’s as well.

What do I need to burn MP3 files?

You need a CD recorder, recording software program, and a blank CD. For details, refer to the “SUPPORT” at iRiver's homepage.

How do I make a CD from a tape or record?

To convert the tape's information into CD requires many items, including: A player to play the tape or record, a stereo cable to attach the player to your computer, and third party recording software to capture and edit the audio. Connect the stereo cable from the source to the line-in input on your computer sound card; then use the third party software to record and edit the audio on the tape or record.

Once the music is recorded onto your computer, use a program to copy the music in Audio or MP3 format to a CD.

I recorded an MP3 CD but it only see less than 20 songs.

The CD was probably created as an Audio CD’s will only hold about 15~20 songs. To record a CD full of MP3’s be sure to set your CD creation software to record Data.

The player can’t read songs and I get 'No disc' message.

CD readability depends on several factors:

1.CD-Media

2.The Burning/Recording Speed

3.The CD surface

When you create a CD, burning speed does matter as well as CD surface. When you create a CD at a high speed, the data writing may not be reliable. In that case, it is recommended to create a CD at a lower speed or to use brand name media.

Can I add songs to the CD I already burned?

Using multi-session or packet writing allows you to add songs to the CD.
