About Creating a Music CD

IMPORTANT: HP supports the lawful use of
technology, and does not endorse or encourage the
use of our products for purposes other than those
permitted by national copyright law.
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 rewriteable (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.
•
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.
Storing Files on a DVD
or CD
Unlike music CDs, data DVDs and CDs can be
recorded in multiple sessions.
1 Click Start, choose All Programs, CD (DVD)
Recorder, RecordNow!, and then click
RecordNow! again.
2 Select the Data Projects tab.
3 Insert a blank or appendable CD-R,
CD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW disc into your
drive, and then click Data Disc.
•
If the disc is blank, click Continue.
Or
•
If the disc is full, insert a blank or another
appendable disc.
Or
•
If you are adding files to a disc, follow onscreen
instructions. You may have to click Cancel, eject
the disc, insert it again, and then record.
Or
•
If you are erasing a rewriteable disc, click
Continue.
NOTE: An appendable disc means additional files
can be added to it, as there is disc space available.
Recorded audio CDs are closed session discs
which are not appendable.
