Playing CDs Directly
By utilizing the digital audio playback engine
developed for the BDP digital players, listeners no
longer need a separate dedicated CD player to play
discs without ripping them first. The BDP buffers a
few seconds of audio into its memory just like when
it reads a file from storage. Therefore, there is no
audio quality difference between the CD playback
and the ripped file.
There are two ways to initiate playback. Insert your
CD in the BOT-1. The BDP will read the disc's table
of contents and, if connected to the internet, will
attempt to identify the CD metadata and album art.
After a few seconds, the front panel of the BDP will
read "Audio CD Ready!"
CD Playback Method 1
Once you see the Audio CD Ready! message, simply
press the Play button on the front panel. The CD will
begin playing shortly thereafter.
CD Playback Method 2
The Manic Moose user interface creates two
references to the Audio CD. One is a listing at the top
of Default View. Simply click the text describing the
+
CD or the
beside it to add it to the playlist. Press
Play ► in the transport controls area to initiate
playback.

For those who use 3rd party control applications
on Android, iOS, and other platforms, a playlist is
automatically generated titled Audio CD when a CD
is inserted in the BOT-1. To play a CD using a 3rd
party application, click or tap the Audio CD playlist.
In 3rd party
apps, Audio CDs
are listed in the
Playlists section
of the library.
Audio CD only
appears when
one is inserted
into the BOT-1.

Burning a Playlist
When a playlist is generated from music stored on
local or network attached drives and is less than 80
minutes in duration, it can be archived to a CD for
playback on traditional CD players.
1. Create a playlist less than 80 minutes in
duration comprised of only 44.1 kHz / 16 bit
PCM audio.
2. Insert a blank CD-R into the BOT-1
3. Click or Tap on BURN
As the BDP prepares the tracks for burning, they
will be highlighted in
purple
indicating progress.
Once they are all highlighted, burning commences.
Once the disc is done, it will automatically eject. Any
errors will be reported on the Dashboard.
