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.
Storing Files on a DVD or CD
Unlike music CDs, data DVDs and CDs can be
recorded in multiple sessions:
1
Using the mouse, 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.
Or
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 cannot record song titles unless you make
■
an exact copy of a music CD in your
collection.
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.
If the disc is full, insert a blank or another
■
appendable disc.
Or
If you are adding files to a disc, follow the
■
onscreen instructions.

To name your disc, select Volume Label,
and then type a name over it. RecordNow!
assigns a name based on the recording date if
you do not type a name.

An appendable disc
can have additional
files added to it, if
there is disc space
available. Recorded
audio CDs are closed-
session discs that are
not appendable.
