How To Copy A Cd - Dell Inspiron 500m Owner's Manual

• Ensure that you set the sampling rate to at least 128 Kbps when you burn MP3 files to
a CD. Otherwise, recording errors may occur.
• Do not burn a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc to its maximum capacity; for example, do
not copy a 650-MB file to a 650-MB blank CD. The CD-RW drive needs 1 or 2 MB of
the blank CD to finalize the recording.
• Use a blank CD-RW disc to practice CD recording until you are familiar with CD
recording techniques. If you make a mistake, you can erase the CD-RW disc and try
again. You can also use blank CD-RW discs to test music file projects before you
record the project permanently to a blank CD-R disc.

How to Copy a CD

NOTE: If you have a DVD/CD-RW combo drive and you experience recording problems, first
check for available software patches on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com and if
necessary, the Roxio support website at support.roxio.com.
The procedure assumes that your computer is equipped with a single CD-RW drive
