Creating Cds; Cd Recording Song Formats; Selecting Songs To Record From The Songs Stored In The Musiccast Server - Yamaha MusicCAST MCX-1000 Owner's Manual

Creating CDs

Use the MusicCAST server to make original CDs containing songs you select from those stored in its
database. You can also use it to duplicate directly any CDs you own. The CD-Rs and CD-RWs produced
by the MusicCAST server can be played in most general-purpose CD player.
Some CD and DVD players cannot play CDs recorded using the MusicCAST server. Consult your CD player manual for further
details.

CD recording song formats

When you store a CD, the MusicCAST server stores both PCM and MP3 versions of the songs from the CD on its
hard disk drive. When recording the songs to a CD-R or CD-RW the MusicCAST server only transfers the PCM
versions of the songs. It then deletes both the PCM and the MP3 versions of the songs from its hard disk drive.
• You cannot record songs which have had their PCM data deleted, or songs for which the MusicCAST server was set not to
record PCM data (see page 121).
• You cannot record songs to a CD-R that already has data recorded on it. If you wish to record songs to a CD-RW that already
has data recorded on it, you must initialize the disk, erasing all data, before recording.
