Creating an
Audio CD
An Audio CD is a compact
disc (CD) used to record
music from tracks and audio
files (for example, WAV or
MP3 files) and can be played
on your home or car stereo
CD player. Here are some of
the things you should know
about an Audio CD:
An Audio CD is used for
➜
playing music and not
for data storage.
An Audio CD can also
➜
be played on most
computers that have a
CD-ROM, DVD-ROM,
or CD-RW drive by
using a program such as
the Windows CD Player.
An Audio CD is ideal for
➜
copying your favorite
music from other CDs
and from audio files to
create new CDs. You can
even create your own
"greatest hits" Audio CD
that contains tracks from
multiple music CDs.
Once you have
completed your
recording session, you
must close (or finalize)
the disc in order to listen
to it on your home or car
CD player.
