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.
•
You must record all music files in one recording session because RecordNow!
closes the CD after recording is complete. Music files can be recorded
repeatedly onto a rewritable (CD-RW) disc, but all previously recorded music
files must be erased first.
•
As you add music files in the recording session, RecordNow! 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 you try to record more than a standard CD can hold, RecordNow! displays a
message warning you that all the tracks may not fit on your disc.
