Dragging files from the Explorer window

From the Options menu, choose Drag-and-Drop Editing, and then choose CD Track from the submenu if you want to create disc-at­ once tracks by dragging files from the Explorer window or Windows Explorer to a data window. Choosing this command has the same

effect as toggle-clicking the right mouse button while dragging until the cursor is displayed with a CD icon () to show you where the track will be added.

When you drop the file, the audio in the data window will be replaced, and no pause time will be added.

Tip: You can use the Default time between CD tracks control on the CD Settings tab of the Preferences dialog to adjust the default pause time. For more information, see CD Settings tab on page 321.
