Audio CD tips
When recording music files, it is important to
note that:
■ 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.
■ As you add music files in the recording
session, DigitalMedia Plus calculates and
displays the amount of recording time
available to record additional music files.
■ You can’t record song titles unless you make
an exact copy of a music CD in your
collection.
■ If your recording fails, manually select a
slower recording speed, if available, each
time you make a recording. Refer to the Help
menu in your selected software program
for more information about selecting a slower
recording speed.
■ If you try to record more than a standard CD
can hold, a message displays warning you
that all the tracks may not fit on your disc.
