Creating Music Cds With Recordnow; Creating Cds To Play In Your Car Or Home Cd Players - HP z545 Software Reference Manual

Creating music CDs with RecordNow!

RecordNow! creates closed-session music CDs, which
means you must record all music files on one CD in one
recording session. Music files can be recorded repeatedly
on a rewritable CD-RW disc, but all previously recorded
files must be erased first. CD-R discs cannot be erased.
CD-R discs play in most home and car stereos. CD-RW
discs play only in some stereos.
You can use RecordNow! to create audio CDs to play in
your car or home CD player, or on your HP Digital
Entertainment Center.
