A selection screen for the album information appears (*3).
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER automatically accesses the Gracenote server based on the
record information of the CD and obtains the album information of the CD.
7. Select the item that seems the same as the album information of the CD that you want to
copy (*4) and push the jog dial in.
A confirmation screen that displays the track list of the selected album information
appears.
Make sure that the correct contents of the CD you want to copy are displayed. If not, press
the BACK button to return to the selection screen for the album information.

Format to encode in
WAV:
PCM data stored on the CD is saved without compression. The WAV format consumes more hard disk
capacity, by making the file size larger, but requires less CPU power for playback than the FLAC format. As
the HDD AUDIO PLAYER saves the music information obtained from the Gracenote server to the ID3 chunk
as well as to the LIST chuck in the standard WAV file format when saving tag information of the music files,
you can also use album jacket photos saved on any music player that supports the ID3 chunk.
FLAC:
PCM data stored on the CD is compressed by lossless compression and saved. The FLAC format
consumes less hard disk capacity for saving music files than the WAV format. You can convert the PCM
data saved in the FLAC format back to the original data stored in the CD for playback. When [FLAC] is
selected, you can save various tag information in the standard format. The FLAC format is not available for
playback in iTunes and requires more CPU power for data expansion than the WAV format.

Copy speed
With verification and retries (Slow):
Reading PCM data from a damaged CD may cause the read data not to be bit perfect because unreadable
data is interpolated by the data interpolation function of the CD drive. The HDD AUDIO PLAYER reads the
same unreadable data for multiple times until the read results are found consistent. In this way, PCM data
read from a slightly damaged CD is compensated to be nearly bit perfect. If a CD is extensively damaged,
however, selecting [Without verification and retries (Fast)] may ensure stable data reading.
Without verification and retries (Fast):
PCM data read from the CD drive is saved directly in the WAV format or converted and saved in the FLAC
format.
