Recording Music; Recording From A Cd - Xantech Digital Music Server XMusic User Manual

RECORDING MUSIC

Your Digital Music Server can make new recordings onto
the hard disk either by recording music directly from an
audio CD placed in the CD tray, or by recording from
another piece of equipment (such as a vinyl record
player) using the line-in connectors on the back on the
unit.
If you are recording directly from the CD tray your Digital
Music Server can access the internet, using either a
broadband connection (via the Ethernet port) or using the
built-in modem, to automatically retrieve information
about the CD. This information includes the album name,
artist name, track names and music genre from the
Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition Service and an album
cover illustration from the XiVA on-line service.
If you do not provide an Internet connection you can
label the CDs you record manually.
