Tips

You can use RecordNow! to create audio CDs to play in your car, on your home CD
player, or on your PC.
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.
