Audio CD tips

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.
As you add music files in the recording
■
session, Sonic DigitalMedia Plus 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.
