Creating A Music Cd; Storing Files On A Dvd Or Cd - HP z545 Software Reference Manual

Creating a music CD

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.
As you add music files in the recording session,
■
RecordNow! calculates and displays the amount of
recording time available to record additional music
files.
You can't record song titles unless you make an exact
■
copy of a music CD in your collection.

Storing Files on a DVD or CD

Unlike music CDs, data DVDs and CDs can be recorded
in multiple sessions:
1
Using the trackball, click Start, choose All
Programs, Sonic RecordNow!, and then click
RecordNow! again.
2
Select the Data Projects tab.
3
Insert a blank or appendable CD-R,
CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, or double-
layer DVD+R (select models only) disc
into your drive, and then click Data Disc.
If the disc is blank, follow the onscreen
■
instructions.

If you try to record more than a standard CD can
■
hold, RecordNow! displays a message warning you
that all the tracks may not fit on your disc.

a name.
