Creating Audio And Data Discs - HP PC Getting Started Manual

Creating Audio and Data Discs

This chapter contains the procedures you must perform to record (or burn) music and
data files to recordable CD and DVD discs. It also includes information about
labeling your discs using the LightScribe labeling technology included on select
models.
For information about recording video files to DVDs, see "Creating Video Discs and
Movies" on page 81.
Your PC includes one or more CD, DVD, or combination optical drives capable of
recording. Additionally, your PC may include the following software programs for
recording to CDs or DVDs:
• Windows Media Player
• Real Rhapsody (select models only)
• Sonic MyDVD Plus (select models only)
• Sonic DigitalMedia Plus (select models only)
• Windows XP
These programs include features that enable you to copy, archive, and manage
music and data files and then record the files to CDs or DVDs. You can also use
Windows Media Player to download and copy music files to a portable device or
memory card.

DVD or CD. Optical recording uses a laser beam to place information onto the disc,
thus the term burning.
