Step 3: There are three very simple ways to add audio to the layout window to
make this process quick and easy.

F.Y.I.! If you want to make audio CDs from existing MP3/mp3PRO music files

you don’t need to convert these files into WAV files first. Nero includes a free
MP3/mp3PRO decoder, than automatically converts your MP3/mp3PRO files into
the appropriate format while you burn your audio CD. The audio CD can then be
played on all commercially available CD players (and most DVD players), provided
that the player can read CD-R (or CD-RW if you recorded on a CD-RW) discs.
To make your own MP3/mp3PRO files (using music from your audio CDs or audio
files in supported formats such as WAV) you need the Nero MP3/mp3PRO
encoder, which can be purchased separately. You can find out more about the
MP3/mp3PRO encoder in chapter 5.3 or simply visit the Ahead website at

www.nero.com

.

Option One - Click the

button to select the files you would like to

burn. A window will appear that looks very similar to Windows Explorer and from
here, you are able to choose the files you would like to record and save on disc.
Once you have selected your file(s), please click Add.

Option Two - Add audio using Windows Explorer - please go to the Start button in
the corner of your screen All Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer.

F.Y.I.! Some operating systems will have Start > Programs > Windows

Explorer

When the Windows Explorer appears, you can drag the audio you would like to
record into the Nero Express layout.

Option Three - Add audio using My Computer - please click the

icon. From

this window, you can drag and drop your files into the Nero Express layout.
