Helpful Tips

Use Microsoft

Windows

Explorer to drag and drop files to a CD-R or CD-RW only after

you start Sonic RecordNow and open a RecordNow project.

You must use CD-Rs to burn music CDs that you want to play in regular stereos.
CD-RWs do not play in most home or car stereos.

You cannot create audio DVDs with Sonic RecordNow.

Music MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players or on computers that have MP3 software
installed.

Do not burn a blank CD-R or CD-RW to its maximum capacity; for example, do not copy a
650-MB file to a 650-MB blank CD. The CD-RW drive needs 1 or 2 MB of the blank CD to
finalize the recording.

Use a blank CD-RW to practice CD recording until you are familiar with CD recording
techniques. If you make a mistake, you can erase the data on the CD-RW and try again. You
can also use blank CD-RWs to test music file projects before you record the project
permanently to a blank CD-R.
