Important: When making a copy of a CD or DVD,

RecordNow can record only to the same disc type

it records from. For example, you can record a

DVD only to a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc and you

can record a CD only to a CD-R or a CD-RW disc.

Recording music files

You can use RecordNow to create music CDs

from various audio files that are downloaded

from the Internet, recorded from your hard drive

files, or recorded from other CDs. CD-R discs

play in most home and car stereos. CD-RW discs

play only in some stereos.

DVD to play erratically. Instead, write on

the DVD with a felt tip pen to label it.

RecordNow, and then click RecordNow.

The RecordNow main window opens.

About recording music

RecordNow records music CDs that are called

closed session CDs. This means that you must

record all music files in one recording session.

When a recording is complete, no more

information can be added to that disc and the

CD is closed. Music files can be recorded

repeatedly on a rewriteable CD or DVD disc,

but all previously recorded files will be erased.

Important: You can record audio files (MP3 and WAV

files) to a DVD as data files, but you cannot create

a DVD audio disc to be played in a car or home

CD player.

For best compatibility with CD-ROM drives and

CD players, use CD-R discs to record music.

Recording data files

You can use RecordNow to create a copy of your

personal data files. When creating a data disc, it

is important to note that:

■ You can add new data files to a CD-R disc

in a later recording session if disc space is

available.

■ You can update previously recorded files

that have the same name to your CD-R or

CD-RW disc.

■ You can record data files to a DVD+R disc

only once.

■ You must erase all previously recorded data

and then record your files again when using

DVD+RW discs.

Warning:

hen labelling your DVDs, d

not use sticky labels. They can cause the

DVD to play erratically. Instead, write on

the DVD with a felt tip pen to label it.

To use RecordNow to record data files:

1 Click Start, choose All Programs,

RecordNow, and then click RecordNow.

The RecordNow main window opens.

2 Click Make a Data Disc.
