RECORDING MUSIC

Your Digital Music Server can make new recordings onto the hard disk either by recording music directly from an audio CD placed in the CD tray, or by recording from another piece of equipment (such as a vinyl record player) using the line-in connectors on the back on the unit.

If you are recording directly from the CD tray your Digital Music Server can access the internet, using either a broadband connection (via the Ethernet port) or using the built-in modem, to automatically retrieve information about the CD. This information includes the album name, artist name, track names and music genre from the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition Service and an album cover illustration from the XiVA on-line service.

If you do not provide an Internet connection you can label the CDs you record manually.
